To be eligible for the NDIS, you must meet the following criteria:

  • Disability: You must have a permanent disability that significantly impacts your daily life. This disability should be assessed by a healthcare professional.
  • Age: You should be under 65 years old at the time of your application.
  • Location: You must reside in an NDIS rollout area. Fortunately, Melbourne is an NDIS rollout location, so residents here can apply.

    Getting started with the NDIS is a step-by-step process:

  • Contact NDIS: Reach out to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) by calling 1800 800 110 or visiting their official website to inquire about your eligibility and express your interest in joining the scheme.
  • Access Request: Submit an Access Request form, which you can obtain from the NDIA. This form will require information about your disability, medical history, and how it affects your daily life.
  • Assessment: The NDIA will review your application and assess your eligibility for the NDIS. They may request additional information or assessments from healthcare professionals.
  • Planning Meeting: If you're deemed eligible, you'll be invited to a planning meeting with an NDIS representative. During this meeting, you'll discuss your goals, needs, and the support services you require.
  • Create Your Plan: Based on the information from your planning meeting, the NDIA will create a personalized NDIS plan outlining the supports and funding you're entitled to.
  • Choose Your Providers: You have the freedom to choose service providers like us, [Your NDIS Provider Name], to deliver the supports outlined in your plan.
  • Review and Adjust: Your NDIS plan is not set in stone. It can be reviewed and adjusted as your needs change.
