Understanding About NDIS – A Quick Guide

How can NDIS help me?

The funding available through NDIS is about moving you closer to your dreams and aspirations. NDIS funding works by identifying the support you need to achieve goals in different aspects of your life. This may include independence, engagement in the community, education, employment and health and wellbeing.

You can achieve choice, control and care over how you want to live your life. You can apply for the NDIS disability support if you are an Australian citizen under 65 years old age with a significant and lifelong impairment, which requires you to seek help from others or assistive technology to be able to fulfil daily tasks and to participate in community activities.

Who can access support packages? There are certain criteria that need to be met and in order to be eligible to receive individualised supports under the NDIS you must:

• live in an area where the NDIS is available
• meet the residency requirements (be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Protected Special Category Visa holder)
• meet the disability or early intervention requirements and
• be under 65 years of age when the access request is made
