Intrepidus Law provides legal advice and legal representation in the following areas:
ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS TRIBUNAL Legal representation and Advice - NDIS Appeals
When an Internal Review does not result in your desired outcome, the next step is an External Review (an appeal) at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Intrepidus Law can provide legal advice and legal representation for you at the AAT, ranging from representing and advising you through Case Conferences, Conciliation, Summons requests, Direction Hearings, Interlocutory Hearing and final Hearing. Only a solicitor can offer legal advice and legal representation. A non-legal NDIS Appeals advocate cannot provide legal advice or legal representation.
ACCESS TO THE NDIS
Obtaining access to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be life-changing. It is important to get your application and supporting evidence right to gain access to the NDIS. Intrepidus Law can provide legal advice on your supporting evidence and act for you in your application to access the NDIS. We can represent you in your appeal to the AAT if your access to the NDIS is denied.
LEGAL ADVICE ON NDIS REASONABLE & NECESSARY SUPPORTS
Only a Solicitor can provide legal advice on the strength of your evidence to justify NDIS reasonable and necessary supports.
Intrepidus Law can review your specialist evidence and provide a Legal opinion on whether the evidence satisfies the legislative criteria of the NDIS Act and relevant NDIS Rules.
Be wary of “Advocates” who have no legal qualifications and charge for a review of your evidence and allied health reports. Only a Solicitor with a Practicing Certificate can lawfully charge for legal services. You can not use your NDIS plan to pay for advocacy or legal advice.
