My Plan Connect to hold workshop on NDIS in Leeton on March 15

With that in mind, Leeton's My Plan Connect organisation is planning to host a workshop on March 15 where residents can find out more about the NDIS, ask questions and see what could be available for themselves, friend or family member.

The free event will aim to engage the community, particularly those who believe they may qualify for the NDIS, but don't know the first steps to take.

"We'll be there to talk them through these first steps and what is involved," My Plan Connect director Jodie Ryan said.

"We'll have some guest speakers, a plan manager and support co-ordinator will be there and we will also hope to have some other agencies there as well.

"Basically, what we find is people navigating the (NDIS) system can be a bit hard and where do they go next?

"That's what we hope this workshop will cover and assist people here."

One of My Plan Connect's biggest goals is to assist residents in getting the most out of their NDIS and to help people "live an ordinary life".

The event, which will include free refreshments, will be held at the Leeton Soldiers Club's regency room on March 15 at 5.30pm.
