Plan your goals and needs

Take time to reflect on your goals and the specific support you require.

The NDIS focuses on individualised plans, so it's important to articulate your needs clearly.

Consider what supports, services, and therapies you require to improve your quality of life and independence.

Seek professional assistance

Consider seeking guidance from professionals who have experience with the NDIS application process.

This could include disability advocates or social workers who can help you navigate the system and provide valuable advice.

Gather relevant information

Collect all the necessary documents and information that support your disability and its impact on your daily life. This may include medical reports, assessments, and any other relevant paperwork. Be prepared to provide evidence of your disability and its functional impact.

Determine eligibility

The first step is to check if you meet the eligibility criteria for the NDIS.

The scheme is designed to support individuals with permanent and significant disabilities.

Visit the official NDIS website https://www.ndis.gov.au/applying-access-ndis/am-i-eligible or contact their helpline (1800 800 110) to understand the requirements and assess your eligibility.
