Navigating NDIS What is the NDIS? The NDIS provides services and support to people with disability. NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme. What does the NDIS do? The NDIS pays for support and services for people with disability. Supports and services can include: help with daily life aids and equipment help to meet your goals and do the things you want to do. We think that it’s better if people can get services and support: as early as possible in their lives when they first get a disability. This is called early intervention. It can apply to both children and adults. Not everyone with disability can get the NDIS. So the NDIS helps people with disability to find and use other services too. Who can take part in the NDIS? If someone can take part in the NDIS, we say that they are eligible. To be eligible, you must have a disability that is: permanent – it won’t go away significant – it affects the way you live your day-to-day life. You must be under 65 years old. You must live in Australia. You need to be 1 of these: a citizen a permanent resident a holder of a Protected Special Category visa. People who use the NDIS usually need support to live their day-to-day life. This support might be: help from other people, like a carer products or technology changes to their home. Some people can get help now to reduce the help they need later in life. And some people need help to: learn new skills reach their goals Are you eligible for the NDIS?
