Getting started with your NDIS

Check to see if you're eligible for NDIS support:

You will be eligible to access support from the NDIS if you have a disability that is permanent. This means a disability that affects the way you live and your functional capacity. Permanent impartments may be intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, physical, or psychosocial. You may also receive NDIS support if this support will help you in the later stages of your life.

Other criteria to access the NDIS includes:

  • Live in Australia
  • Hold a permanent visa or Protected Special Category Visa, and
  • Be under the age of 65

Do you meet the eligibility criteria?

Great. You can take the next step towards receiving support. Just contact the NDIS and ask for an Access Request form, or download the form on the NDIS website.
