What is the NDIS?
The NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, an Australian government initiative.
The NDIS supports Australians with permanent and significant disabilities who meet the eligibility criteria.
The NDIS funds a wide range of supports, including daily living assistance, therapy, transport, and community participation.
The NDIS provides individualised funding directly to participants, giving them greater choice and control over their supports.
What is an NDIS plan?
An NDIS plan outlines your goals, the supports you need, and the funding allocated to achieve them.
You’ll work with an NDIS planner or local area coordinator to identify your goals and required supports.
Yes, you can request a plan review if your needs or circumstances change during the plan period.
Once approved, you can begin accessing supports and services through your allocated funding.
How to Begin with the NDIS
You can check eligibility by reviewing the criteria on the NDIS website or contacting the NDIS directly for assistance.
You can apply by completing an Access Request Form online or by calling the NDIS to start the process.
You’ll need proof of identity, medical evidence of your disability, and any other supporting documents that outline your needs.
Local area coordinators (LACs) or NDIS planners can guide you through the application process and provide support.
