If you’re preparing for your first NDIS plan or a plan reassessment, one of the most important steps is setting clear, meaningful NDIS goals. These goals help your NDIS planner understand what you want to achieve - and which supports or products will best assist you in reaching them.
For people managing “incontinence”, setting the right goals can make a big difference in everyday comfort, confidence, and independence.
Why NDIS Goals Matter
When you join the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you will attend a planning meeting with an NDIS representative (often a Local Area Coordinator or NDIA Planner). During this meeting, you will discuss your:
- Short-term goals, such as improving daily routines, building independence, or learning new skills.
- Long-term goals, like gaining confidence, improving sleep, or participating more fully in social, school and community life.
Your NDIS goals provide direction - and help your planner identify the supports (like continence aids, therapies, or assistive devices) that will help you achieve them.
How to Set Effective NDIS Goals
When it comes to goal-setting, think about areas of life where you’d like more independence, comfort, or peace of mind. For people dealing with incontinence, this might include:
- Improving sleep quality by reducing disruptions due to bedwetting.
- Building confidence in social or overnight situations (such as camps or sleepovers).
- Becoming more independent in managing continence care at home.
- Reducing stress for families or caregivers through better support solutions.
Good NDIS goals start with what you want to achieve - not just what products or services you use. For example:
- “I want to sleep through the night comfortably without anxiety about bedwetting.”
- “I want my child to be more confident attending school camps and sleepovers.”
These goals clearly express outcomes your NDIS plan can support with appropriate products and strategies.
How Pjama Supports Your NDIS Goals
Pjama’s innovative washable, discreet, and practical continence solutions are designed to directly support your short‑ and long‑term NDIS goals.
Our range includes:
- Bedwetting pants and shorts – comfortable, reusable garments that protect bedding and allow for restful, stress‑free sleep.
- Bedwetting alarms – clinically proven to help train the brain to recognise when it is time to use the toilet at night, supporting long‑term progress toward dryness.
- Pjama vibrating alarm reminder watch – a discreet, wearable watch designed to remind users to visit the toilet or empty their bladder throughout the day, drink water, take medication, or just take a breath and calm down. This can help build healthy toileting routines, support continence training, and boost confidence both at home and in public.
All Pjama products are NDIS claimable when listed under the continence aids or consumables support category, aligning perfectly with goals around independence and daily living skills.
Tips for Discussing Your Goals in a Planning Meeting
- Be specific – describe what you want to achieve, such as “improved night-time continence” or “increased independence in daily toileting.”
- Use examples – explain how tools like Pjama’s vibrating alarm watch or bedwetting alarm can help build routine and confidence.
- Bring supporting details – include reports or recommendations from health professionals, along with examples of what’s working.
- Focus on outcomes – highlight the improvements you expect, like better sleep, reduced anxiety, or greater independence.
Revisit Your Goals Regularly
Your needs can evolve - especially for children and teenagers. During your NDIS plan review, reassess your goals and progress. For instance, a child who initially needed wearable continence aids may now be working on maintaining dryness through behaviour training supported by the vibrating reminder watch.
