The National Disability Insurance Scheme is called the NDIS. It’s a new way for people with a disability under the age of 65 to get the care and supports they need.
The NDIS is for people with a permanent and significant disability which impacts on their ability to take part in everyday activities.
If you are eligible, you will work out what reasonable and necessary supports you need to live your life and achieve your goals. You’ll then receive funding to pay for these supports.
Eligibility for the NDIS depends on a few different things such as:
Age
You need to be under 65 years at the time of your application.
Residency
You need to be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or a New Zealand citizen who holds a Protected Special Category Visa.
Disability:
You must have a permanent disability that significantly affects how you can communicate, move, care for yourself, or manage your life.
Early Intervention
You must have a permanent disability that significantly affects how you can communicate, move, care for yourself, or manage your life.
