Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NDIS?

Applying to join the NDIS is the first step in your journey to accessing supports. Here’s some key information to help you understand how the NDIS works.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme, or NDIS, is a way for people living with a disability to access support across all Australian states and territories. The NDIS gives people choice and control over their supports. It’s designed to help people with daily living tasks, improve their skills and build independence.

Who can access it?

Anyone who is eligible can access the NDIS. To see if you are eligible, use the NDIS’s eligibility checklist.

What types of support does the NDIS offer?

The NDIS offers support with:

Accommodation options
Daily personal activities
Getting out and about in the community
Transport to community groups and daily life activities
Employment and workplace assistance
Therapeutic supports, including early intervention
Household tasks
Home and vehicle modifications
Mobility equipment

The NDIS doesn’t fund general health or education services, because these are available to everybody in the community. However they can help you access, or support you while using, any community services.

How does the NDIS work?

If you’re eligible and your Access Request is approved, you’ll work with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to create your NDIS plan.

Your plan will outline your individual goals and what funding has been allocated to help you achieve them. Once you have your NDIS plan, you’ll be able to start finding services and supports. If you have ‘support coordination’ included in your plan, a Support Coordinator can help you make the most of your NDIS plan.
