EBL is proud to announce that we
now have in place an Individualised
Funding Specialist to assist with all things NDIS from a finance perspective.
Matt Heading has been brought on board with a background as a fully qualified
chartered accountant, and he is to be treated as the go to person for all things
individualised funding.
In the transition to the NDIS model, plan management and understanding what
the funding actually means is crucial, having Matt on board allows us to add
financial intermediary services to our already vast range of service offerings to
assist families through the change. This service discussion can be fully funded
through your plan, so please remember to ask for the service to be added to
your NDIS plan as you sit through your planning meeting. A full update on the
new financial services we are able to offer will be provided on our recently
refurbished website.
