Access support through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australia-wide scheme. It is designed to help participants get the support they need so their skills and independence can improve over time.

To be eligible for the NDIS you must:

• be an Australian citizen or hold a Permanent or a Special Category visa
• be aged between 7 and 65
• have a permanent and significant disability.

NDIS funding is provided directly to the individual.
