At Life Your Way, we’re committed to providing you with personalised, high-quality care from the very start of your journey with us. We charge an establishment fee for new clients to help cover the costs associated with getting everything set up for your support. But what exactly is this fee, and why is it important?
The establishment fee is a one-time charge that helps us cover the administrative and logistical work involved in getting your services off the ground.
When you first start with us, a lot goes on behind the scenes to ensure that we fully understand your needs and can tailor our services to meet your goals. This fee allows us to focus on what matters most—providing the right support from day one.
What Does the Establishment Fee Cover?
- Initial Consultations and Assessments
Before we can create a personalised support plan, we take the time to sit down with you (and your caregivers, if necessary) to discuss your goals, needs, and preferences. This involves detailed assessments and planning to ensure that our services align with your NDIS plan and personal aspirations. - Care Plan Development
Once we understand your unique situation, our team works to develop a tailored care plan that covers the types of support you need, the frequency of services, and how we’ll track progress. Crafting this individualised plan takes time and expertise. - Team Coordination
Behind every client is a dedicated team of professionals. The establishment fee helps cover the work involved in coordinating our support workers, ensuring they are fully briefed on your specific needs and are prepared to deliver the best care possible. - Setting Up Ongoing Support Services
There’s also administrative work involved in getting you fully set up in our system, from organising your NDIS plan details to scheduling your first sessions. The establishment fee covers these initial efforts to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
Why Is the Establishment Fee Important?
The establishment fee is vital because it allows us to dedicate the resources needed to start your support on the right foot. By covering the costs of these essential tasks, we’re able to focus on delivering high-quality care tailored specifically to you, ensuring that your experience with Life Your Way is positive and productive from the very beginning.
We want to ensure you’re confident and comfortable with the support you receive, and the establishment fee helps make that possible.
How Is the Fee Applied?
The establishment fee is a one-time charge and is applied when the NDIS qualifying criteria are met. It’s included in your NDIS plan under the applicable categories, and we will always discuss it with you upfront, so there are no surprises. Our goal is to be transparent and ensure you understand every aspect of your service agreement.
Ready to Get Started?
If you’re considering joining Life Your Way, we’re here to answer any questions you may have about the establishment fee or any other part of your NDIS plan. We look forward to welcoming you into our community and supporting you on your journey!
