Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a program created by the Australian government to provide support to Australians with a significant and permanent disability, their families, and carers. The scheme takes a lifetime approach and aims to ensure Australians with disability will have the necessary supports to work towards their goals. To learn more about the NDIS you can watch the video below…

If you are under 65 and have a permanent disability that prevents you from doing everyday things independently, you are most likely eligible for the NDIS. It is a good idea to read the NDIS Access Checklist (link below) to see if you might be eligible.
