What is the NDIS and How Does it Work?

What is the NDIS?

•  It is a federal government-funded scheme which
  provides financial support to people with an
  intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive or
  psychosocial disability, as well as early
  intervention supports for children with
  developmental delay.
• The government expects the NDIS to provide
  support for about 460,000 Australians who have a
  disability when it is fully operational.
• Individuals with NDIS funding primarily deal with
  Local Area Coordinators, Early Childhood Early
  Intervention co-ordinators, or NDIA planners who
  help participants access, understand and navigate
  the new system, and create, implement and review
  their plan.

Who is eligible for the NDIS?

• The NDIS is available to Australian citizens,
  permanent residents and special-category visa
  holders who live in Australia, are aged between
  seven and 65 years old, and who have a permanent
  and significant disability.
• Based on the NDIS criteria, a permanent and
  significant disability means you either need
  support from another person, use special
  equipment or require supports to reduce your
  future needs. You can check your eligibility
  through the NDIS website.
