Frequently Asked Questions
To be eligible for NDIS support, there are several criteria you must meet:
● Residency requirements: You must be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
● Age requirements: You need to be under 65 years of age when you first apply for NDIS.
● Disability requirements: You have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to perform everyday activities.
Applying for the NDIS is a step-by-step process:
● Contact the NDIS or an NDIS Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to make an Access Request.
● Provide evidence of your disability, which may include reports from health professionals.
● If eligible, you will be contacted to help develop your first NDIS plan.
NDIS funding is tailored to your individual needs. Here’s how it typically works:
● Your plan will include funding for supports and services that are reasonable and necessary.
● Funding is allocated across three categories: Core, Capacity Building, and Capital.
● You manage your funds to pay for services that meet your goals.
Your plan is typically reviewed every 12 months, but can be reviewed sooner if your needs change.
You should inform the NDIS as changes may affect your plan and funding. This ensures your supports continue to match your needs.
