The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government program that provides funding and support to Australians with a permanent and significant disability.

Australian citizens, permanent residents, or Protected Special Category Visa holders under 65 with a permanent and significant disability may be eligible.

You can apply for the NDIS by contacting the NDIS directly via phone or visiting their website to complete the Access Request Form.

The NDIS provides funding for various supports, including personal care, transport, therapeutic support, and assistance with household tasks.

An NDIS plan is a personalized budget that outlines the supports and services a participant will receive over a set period.

You can manage your NDIS plan yourself, use a plan manager, or have the NDIA manage it for you.
