The NDIS is available for people with disability between the ages of 7 and 65 who live in Australia and are either Australian citizens or have a Permanent or Special Category Visa. If you require special equipment or supports because of disability (now or in the future), you may be eligible for the NDIS.
Children aged under 7 years who have a developmental delay or disability may also be eligible for support through the NDIS Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) approach. The ECEI approach supports families to help children develop the skills they need to take part in daily activities and achieve the best possible outcomes throughout their life.
The best way to assess your eligibility for the scheme is to review these NDIS eligibility questions.
You can also talk to our concierge to find out more. Simply call us on 0406066656
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can then complete an Access Request Form to request to become an NDIS participant.
An NDIS plan is unique to you. It outlines your goals (both now and longer term) and helps to identify the reasonable and necessary supports that will help you reach those goals. There is lots of information available online for how the planning process works.
There is also help available to create your plan. Depending on your needs, you may need the help of an Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) Coordinator, a Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or a Support Coordinator.
