The NDIS, or National Disability Insurance Scheme, is designed to support individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. Eligibility is based on age, residence, and disability criteria.

To apply for the NDIS, you must submit an access request to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). The process involves providing information about your disability and how it impacts your daily life.

The NDIS offers a range of supports, including but not limited to personal care, community participation, health services, and assistance with daily living tasks. The supports are tailored to individual needs and goals.

Your NDIS plan is developed through collaboration with an NDIA planner. The planning process involves discussing your goals, preferences, and specific support requirements to create a personalised plan.

The NDIS plan is managed by participants or their nominated representatives, allowing them control and flexibility in choosing service providers and implementing the outlined supports.

Participants can self-manage, use a plan management provider, or opt for agency-managed services, depending on their preferences and capacity for plan management.

Yes, one of the key principles of the NDIS is participant choice and control. You can choose your service providers based on your preferences and needs.

NDIS plans are typically reviewed annually. However, reviews can occur more frequently if there are significant changes in your circumstances or if adjustments to the plan are necessary.

You can request a plan review with the NDIA if your needs change. This ensures that your plan remains aligned with your evolving circumstances and goals.

The NDIS aims to cover the reasonable and necessary supports outlined in your plan. However, there may be co-payments for specific services or situations. It’s essential to discuss any potential costs during your planning meetings.

If you disagree with a decision made by the NDIA, you have the right to appeal. The appeals process involves providing additional information or requesting a review, ensuring transparency and fairness in decision-making.
