NDIS Information

Are you eligible to NDIS?

Under the NDIS, people with a disability will have choice and control over their disability supports, including choosing who and how these supports are provided and managed. People who meet eligibility criteria will be able to access all reasonable and necessary disability supports, as agreed in their individual plans to live independently in the community and to work towards achieving their goals and aspirations over their lifetime.

​

Please visit ndis.gov.au to download brochures and booklets, fact sheets and general guides on how to prepare and plan your future. There will also be up to date information about the scheme, plus information on providers who are registered to deliver supports or products in alignment with your plan enabling you to reach your goals of what a good life looks like for you.

Alternatively, feel free to contact us and let us support you through the process.

  • are under 65 years of age

  • are an Australia citizen, a permanent resident, or New Zealand citizen who is a Protected Special Category Visa holder

  • have a permanent and/or significant disability that impacts your everyday living and you require assistance from others to do things
