If you have a significant and permanent disability, injury or illness that affects your daily life, you may be eligible to access the NDIS.
1 . Check your eligibility - Before you begin, use the NDIS checklist to confirm that you: • aged between 7 and 65. • reside in Australia with Australian residency. • require immediate support to lessen future needs.
2 . Make an Access Request - To start your application, call the NDIS at 1800 800 110. If you need assistance, reach out to your Local Area Coordinator, Early Childhood Early Intervention partner, the local National Disability Insurance Agency, or Disability Support Choice & Control for assistance.
3 . Gather Supporting Evidence - This may involve sharing details about your disability and how it affects your daily life. Providing recent information and collaborating with your healthcare providers can strengthen your case for NDIS eligibility.
4 . Prepare for your Planning Meeting - Once the Access Request decision is done, you’ll receive written notice of the decision. Afterwards, you will meet with a NDIS Community Partner to determine the support level of your NDIS Plan and the allocated funding.
