GUIDE
Your Application Guide to Australia's Disability
Support System
Welcome to our easy and comprehensive guide on starting your NDIS journey.
As the leading NDIS provider on the Sunshine Coast, we’ve got you covered from starting to navigate the National Disability Insurance Scheme or seeking clarification on recent changes.
What is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme
(NDIS) is a program initiated by the Australian Government, designed to provide financial assistance to individuals under the age of 65 with disabilities.
This support aims to cover the expenses
associated with necessary care and support services.
How does the NDIS work?
The NDIS offers funding and services to
eligible individuals with disabilities.
Participants create personalised plans,
implemented with provider assistance.
Funding covers various supports,
emphasizing choice and control for
participants in managing their funds and selecting providers.
How do I know if I'm eligible?
You must be under 65 years of age, be an
Australian citizen or hold a permanent visa, and have a significant and permanent disability.
NDIS assesses factors: functional impairment, support needs, disability impact. You’ll provide medical
evidence and support details.
How do I apply to the NDIS?
To begin, either fill out an access request
form on their website or reach out to them directly. Share details about your disability, any limitations you face, and the support you currently receive.
Be sure to include any relevant medical
evidence. Once approved, you’ll collaborate with the NDIS to craft a tailored plan suited to your needs.
How to create my NDIS plan?
Creating your NDIS plan involves discussions and assessments with an NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator
(LAC).
Together, you’ll identify your goals and needs to decide on supports and services, tailored to you and your funding. The plan is reviewed yearly for any adjustments needed.
What's next after I have my plan?
After creating your NDIS plan, the next
step is to put it into action. This involves connecting with NDIS providers to
arrange the supports and services
outlined in your plan.
Seek help from your NDIS planner or LAC for guidance and adjustments during
implementation.
