National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) image
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds supports for eligible people with disability to work towards their goals and take part in everyday life. Each participant's plan reflects their individual disability support needs; a diagnosis alone does not determine access or a particular funding amount.

Eligibility involves age, residence and the disability requirements, early intervention requirements or both. The NDIA considers evidence against those requirements, rather than using a single standard test for everyone. Read the official eligibility guidance or explore our application information.

Depending on the approved plan, NDIS supports can include help with daily life, therapy, assistive technology and other disability-related assistance. Funding does not automatically cover ordinary living expenses or services that health, education and other systems are responsible for.

Participants have choice and control under all three management options: self-management, plan management and NDIA-management. These options determine who manages payments and financial records; choosing a provider is not itself the definition of self-management or plan management.

Use our funding guide to understand budgets, then explore Choice's disability support services. Tell us what you’d like help with and how you prefer to be supported. We can discuss current availability before you decide on an arrangement. Choice does not decide NDIS eligibility or approve plan funding.

To access the NDIS, applicants must meet a number of eligibility requirements, including age, residency and disability criteria. If you are unsure whether you meet these requirements, it is important to remember that every situation is different.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme funds disability-related supports for eligible people. The NDIA assesses access and funding using individual circumstances and evidence. A diagnosis alone does not determine access or a particular budget.

What can an NDIS plan fund?

Funding must be used for NDIS supports related to your disability and in line with your plan. Depending on your circumstances, this may include daily assistance, skill development or assistive technology. Check the official NDIS support lists.

How do I find out whether I am eligible?

Access involves age, residence and disability or early intervention requirements. The NDIA considers the evidence for your circumstances. Read our eligibility and application information and the official access requirements.

Can I choose my NDIS provider?

Participants have choice and control under the different plan management options. Provider and spending rules still apply to your plan and the support involved. Check the requirements and discuss tasks, prices and service availability before agreeing to support.
