Frequently Asked Questions

Supporting Your Journey to Greater Independence

What is the NDIS?

The NDIS is a government-funded scheme that provides support to Australians with permanent and significant disabilities, helping them live independently and achieve their goals.

To be eligible, you must:
Be aged between 9 and 65 years old
Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
Have a permanent and significant disability

The NDIS funds supports that are reasonable and necessary, including:

  • Daily personal activities
  • Transport
  • Help with household tasks
  • Therapy services
  • Mobility equipment
  • Support to get or keep a job

You can apply by:

  • Calling the NDIS on 1800 800 110
  • Completing an Access
  • Request Form
  • Applying through a Local Area Coordinator (LAC)

A NDIS Plan outlines your goals and the supports funded to help you achieve them. It’s created with you and tailored to your needs.

Yes, you have choice and control over who provides your supports and services under the NDIS.

A Plan Manager helps you manage your NDIS funds, pay providers, and keep track of your budget.

Plan-managed: A Plan Manager pays your providers and helps with budgets
Self-managed: You manage your funding directly
NDIA-managed: The NDIA pays your registered providers

Usually every 12 months, but they can be reviewed sooner if your circumstances change.

You can request an internal review, and if you’re still unhappy, apply for an external review through the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
