The Early Intervention Network (EIN) is a registered plan management provider that offers financial intermediary activities for participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The EIN provides special support for “transitioning” parents: parents of children currently part of the Helping Children with Autism (HCWA) or Better Start for Children with Disability (Better Start) programmes who wish to continue to receive therapy and support under the NDIS.

For those parents we offer five main benefits:

1. Participate in a secure online forum, a place to share your actual experiences where only other parents with children registered with the NDIS can see them. It also provides a place to ask questions from people in the same boat, rather than from the very broad and general Facebook groups, or waiting for a response from the NDIS themselves.

2. You can authorise us to receive claims from your service provider and pay them directly – even if they are not registered with the NDIS. Our “credit” model means that you will not be out of pocket and your service provider will be paid very quickly and reliably. You are too busy to waste time with paperwork. Plus, you have easy access to your records of payment and the status of your funds at any time.

3. Receive regular financial reports we prepare to fulfill your obligations to NDIS as a self-manager of your child’s funds.

4. Receive regular Member Alerts with updates on changes and developments in NDIS early intervention benefits, policies and rules.

5. Access the free member’s telephone help line – when all you want is to actually speak to somebody who can answer your NDIS early intervention question.

We have a “cap”* in place to ensure our high standards and quality of service do not drop (we all know what it’s like trying to get through to an overwhelmed organisation).
