What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that funds essential supports for eligible individuals with disability. Its purpose is to help people gain more independence, engage in community activities, pursue education or employment, and enhance their overall quality of life.

 

 

Are you eligible for the NDIS?

You may qualify if you:

  • Are under 65 years of age

  • Are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or a New Zealand citizen on a Special Category Visa

  • Live in an area where the NDIS is available

  • Have a permanent disability that significantly affects daily life, or meet early intervention criteria

 

To learn more or check your eligibility, call the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) on 1800 800 110.

NDIS FAQs

1. Will I be able to choose the type of support I receive?

Absolutely. The NDIS is built around choice and control, so you can decide how, when, and where your supports are delivered.

 

2. Can I receive funding for transport?

You may be eligible for transport funding based on personal circumstances. Discuss your transport needs with your NDIS planner; the NDIA typically sets three levels of transport funding.

 

3. Will my goals be included in my plan?

Yes. Your NDIS plan can include short-term or long-term goals. You can adjust these as your needs and aspirations change.

 

4. What if I’m not eligible for the NDIS?

If you don’t qualify, you may still access disability services through Continuity of Support or local community programs. Our team can help connect you to alternative options.

 

5. Is respite care still available under the NDIS?

Yes. It’s commonly referred to as “Short-Term Accommodation” and is included in plans where respite is deemed necessary. We’re here to help arrange the best possible support for you and your carer.

 

6. Can I change my plan if my circumstances change?

Absolutely. If your situation evolves, contact the NDIA or your support coordinator to review and update your plan ahead of the standard 12-month review period.
