Steps to apply for NDIS
Find out if you qualify for the NDIS by being under 65, an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or holding a Protected Special Category Visa, and having a permanent and significant disability.
Collect documents like medical reports and assessments that show how your disability affects your daily life.
Reach out by calling their hotline or filling out an Access Request Form online, providing details about your disability and needed support.
The NDIA will review your application to determine your eligibility, possibly requiring an interview or additional documents.
If eligible, work with the NDIA to create a plan that outlines your supports and funding.
Select your service provider to begin using NDIS-funded services, and regularly update your plan as needed.
