    What Is the NDIS 

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports individuals under 65 with disabilities by providing access to care and assistance. It also offers valuable information and services to families and carers, helping them support their loved ones with disabilities. Through the NDIS, individuals can lead ordinary lives now and adapt to changes as they occur.


    As an insurance scheme, the NDIS adopts a lifetime approach, focusing on early investment to enhance long-term outcomes for people with disabilities.

    How To Access the NDIS

    To Become an NDIS Participant a Person Must: 

    ✔ Have a permanent disability that significantly affects their ability to take part in everyday activities;

    ✔ Be aged less than 65 when they first enter the NDIS;

    ✔ Be an Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa or a Protected Special Category visa; and

    ✔ Live in Australia where the NDIS is available.

    Creating Your NDIS Plan

    Your NDIA planner will use the information and evidence you provide to understand your:

    ✔ Goals and aspirations.

    ✔ Strengths, capacities, and disability support needs.

    ✔ Personal circumstances and living situation, including informal support, community resources, and other mainstream support.

    When developing your plan, your NDIA planner will consider the support that is reasonable and necessary for you to pursue your goals, increase your independence, and help you engage in work, study, and social activities.

    Using Your Plan

    Your NDIS plan includes three main funding types: Core, Capital, and Capacity Building. Supports are organised into categories under these funding types, each designed to help you achieve your life goals. These categories can cover expenses you wouldn’t think of, so it’s important to understand what each one includes.

    You have three options to manage your NDIS funding:

    ✔ Self-managed

    ✔ Plan-managed

    ✔ NDIA-managed

    You can use one method or a combination of these options.
