• Examine Your Eligibility
• Despite the fact that the NDIS assists over
  400,000 people each year, there are still severe
  eligibility requirements to complete before you
  may receive NDIS support. If you're not sure if
  you're eligible, visit the NDIS website and
  answer their questions before moving on to the
  next step.

• Complete the form
• Once you've determined whether you're eligible,
  you'll need to fill out an Access Request Form,
  which can be downloaded from the NDIS website.
  You must notify yourself, as well as your
  location, legal guardian, and impairment. The
  Access Request Form is somewhat extensive, and
  you may need assistance learning or filling it
  out.
• After you've completed this form, send it to the
  NDIS via email, mail, or your local National
  Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) office.

• Make sure you're ready for a planning meeting
• You'll be invited to present at an NDIS planning
  meeting in person, online, or over the phone once
  the NDIA has examined and accepted your Access
  Request Form. This discussion digs a little
  deeper into who you are, what services you
  currently use, and what support you might need in
  the future from different NDIS providers to help
  you achieve your goals.

• Make use of a plan manager
• You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed at this
  point in your quest for NDIS assistance, which is
  totally normal. If your NDIS exploration becomes
  stressful, it's a good idea to request a plan
  manager during your planning meeting. A plan
  manager can help you leverage your money,
  negotiate estimates with NDIS providers, and keep
  track of your finances and budget to ensure you
  don't overspend or underspend at no additional
  cost.
