How The NDIS Can Help You
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is here to help Australians with disabilities. It gives you more control over your support and makes life easier to manage.
The NDIS connects you to services, providers, and communities that match your needs. Since it started in 2013, it has supported over 600,000 Australians.
Can You Join the NDIS?
You might qualify for the NDIS if you live in Australia and are a citizen or permanent resident.
It’s designed for people with lifelong permanent or significant disabilities who need extra help with daily life.
If your child is under nine, their eligibility is assessed through the Early Childhood Approach.

Help If You’re Not Eligible
Even if you don’t qualify for the NDIS, there are still ways to get support.
The NDIS can connect you to local services run by State or Territory governments.
These supports can be provided through your Local Area Coordinator office.
Getting Help With Your NDIS Plan
The NDIS can feel confusing, but you don’t have to manage it alone.
A support coordinator can make the process simpler and help you get the most from your plan.
Support coordinators can:
Break your plan into clear, manageable steps.
Match your plan to your goals and needs.
Offer advice, advocacy, and ongoing support when needed.
Help you understand the categories and what supports can be funded in those categories.
Connect you with services and providers.
With the right guidance, managing your plan becomes less stressful and more empowering.
Making Your NDIS Plan Work for You
Support coordinators focus on helping you use your funding for what matters most.
They can organise meetings with doctors, therapists, or other providers, keeping everyone on the same page and working toward your goals.
If your needs change, they’ll help update your plan so your support stays relevant. This means you can focus on what’s important without worrying about the details.
We track your funding, making sure that with any changes as well as ongoing supports, you don’t ever run out of funds.
Steps To Apply for the NDIS
Applying for the NDIS involves a few steps, but help is available to make it easier.
You can manage it on your own or with support from someone who understands the system.
