Understanding the NDIS
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme can feel overwhelming. We are here to help you understand how it works and how to make the most of your plan.
How to Get Started with the NDIS
Follow these steps to begin your NDIS journey.
Check Your Eligibility
The NDIS is available to Australians under 65 with a permanent and significant disability. You must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
Make an Access Request
Contact the NDIA on 1800 800 110 or visit their website to make an access request. You will need medical evidence of your disability and how it affects your daily life.
Planning Meeting
Once approved, you will have a planning meeting to discuss your goals, daily living needs, and the supports you require. Bring a support person if you wish.
Receive Your Plan
Your NDIS plan will outline your funded supports and budget. You can choose how you manage your plan: self-managed, plan-managed, or NDIA-managed.
Choose Your Provider
Select a registered NDIS provider like Everyday Care Ability to deliver your supports. We will work with you to make the most of your plan.
Plan Management Options
Choose how you want to manage your NDIS funding.
Self-Managed
You have the most flexibility. You manage your own funding, pay providers directly, and can choose both registered and unregistered providers.
Plan-Managed
A plan manager handles financial administration on your behalf. You still choose your providers and maintain control over your supports.
NDIA-Managed
The NDIA manages your funding and pays registered providers directly. This option requires using only NDIS-registered providers.
