Frequently Asked Questions
Applying for the NDIS involves a few key steps. Firstly, you’ll need to contact the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to request an Access Request Form. This form requires details about your disability and how it impacts your daily life. Supporting evidence, such as reports from health professionals, will strengthen your application. Once submitted, the NDIA will review your application and inform you of the outcome.
Eligibility for the NDIS is based on several criteria. You must be under 65 years of age at the time of application, an Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa or Protected Special Category visa, and have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to perform everyday activities. The NDIA assesses each application individually to determine eligibility.
NDIS funding is tailored to each individual’s needs. The funding amount is determined based on the information provided in your application, including the impact of your disability and the support required to improve your daily life and achieve your goals. The plan is reviewed periodically to ensure that it remains aligned with your needs.
Learn More
The NDIS covers costs that are related to a person’s disability and are deemed ‘reasonable and necessary.’ This includes, but is not limited to, personal care assistance, transport to enable participation in community activities, therapeutic supports like occupational therapy, and technology aids. It’s important to note that the NDIS does not cover day-to-day expenses that are not related to your disability.
