What is the NDIS?
The NDIS is the National Disability Insurance Scheme created by the Australian government. It is to provide funding for support and services, to those who are under the age of 65 and are considered to have permanent significant disability.
If you or someone you know is experiencing disability, they may be qualified to apply for an NDIS plan to help them fund the necessary services needed to help improve their quality of life.
What supports will the NDIS fund?
You may be eligible for the NDIS if you:
- Have a permanent disability significantly affecting the ability to take part in everyday activities
- Are under the age of 65 years when first applying and entering the NDIS
- Are an Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa or protected special category visa
An eligibility checklist can be found here.
What supports will the NDIS fund?
The NDIS states that it will fund ‘any reasonable and necessary supports participants need to enjoy an ordinary life’. This is a broad statement that covers a range of disability care services. Supports may include the following:
Daily personal activities
Transport to enable participation in community, social, economic and daily life activities
Workplace help
Therapeutic supports
Help with household tasks
Home modification design and construction
Mobility equipment
Vehicle modification

The NDIS does not fund daily living expenses, such as rent, food and bills. This is still funded by your usual source of income – work, disability pensions etc.
When you apply for the NDIS, you will be asked to attend a planning meeting, where you will be able to discuss your needs and goals and talk about how you would like to benefit from the NDIS.
