The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australia wide system of providing individualised planning, funding and support to people living with disability, their families and carers. It’s a lifetime approach to the delivery of support services, that will change over time with your individual circumstances.
As a participant, the Scheme provides you with real choice, control and flexibility through personalised funding for the services that most benefit you. The NDIS is managed by the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency).

A person with a disability that is likely to be permanent and the disability makes it difficult to take part in everyday activities can access the NDIS. A person needs to meet disability criteria or a child will need to meet the early intervention requirements, as well as age and residency requirements.
In order to apply for funding under the National Disability Insurance Scheme, you’ll need to fit the following criteria.
Self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed. If you are receiving funding through the Department of Communities (Disability Services), or NDIS, you’ll likely be aware that you can choose from three main types of approved management and payment structures.
It’s up to you how much responsibility you’d like to take on to manage the details of your funding. Regardless of which pathway you choose, you will always have a say about how your service is designed and delivered regardless of the service model that you go with.
