What is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government initiative that provides funding and support to eligible Australians living with significant and lifelong disabilities. It aims to empower individuals by promoting independence, improving quality of life, and helping them participate fully in the community.
Who Can Access NDIS?
Eligibility for NDIS is determined through a checklist that assesses your individual circumstances and support needs.
For children under 7 years old with developmental delays, you can approach an Early Childhood Partner for an initial assessment. They will guide and support you through the NDIS application process if appropriate.
For individuals aged 7 to 65 years, the Local Area Coordinator (LAC) can help you understand, apply for, and access NDIS supports tailored to your needs.
