How to get started with NDIS

Getting started with the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a straightforward process designed to ensure you receive the support you need. First, check your eligibility by visiting the NDIS website or contacting the NDIS directly. If eligible, you can apply by filling out an Access Request Form, which can be done online, over the phone, or by mail. Once your application is approved, you’ll be contacted to arrange a planning meeting where you’ll discuss your goals, needs, and the types of support you require. This meeting will help create your personalized NDIS plan. After your plan is approved, you can start accessing services and supports from registered NDIS providers. Throughout this journey, you can seek assistance from Local Area Coordinators (LACs) or NDIS planners to guide you through each step and ensure you make the most of your NDIS plan.
