The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of providing Australians under 65 who have a permanent and/or significant disability, with funding to receive the necessary care and supports to achieve their goals. It’s one of the biggest changes people living with disability have experienced in a long time. By 2020, the complete rollout of the NDIS will touch the lives of more than 460,000 Australians nationwide.
The NDIS aims to give you more choice and control by providing funding directly to you. The amount of funding you receive is based on your disability needs, not your income and capital. If you’re receiving income support, such as Disability Support Pension and Carers Allowance, being on the NDIS will NOT have any impact.
We understand you may feel apprehensive about this new approach to disability support, but rest assured, we’re here to help you throughout your NDIS journey. Scroll down and see our step by step guide to get you started. Click here for a step-by-step guide to getting you started.

To help you navigate the process with ease, here’s a step-by-step guide to access the NDIS ensuring you achieve your goals.
If you join HCA Home, we offer free assistance with your NDIS plan review.
Here are 5 questions to help you determine whether you can apply for the NDIS. This is simply a guide as the final decision is made by the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency) who consider whether the NDIS is in your area and the nature of your disability.
If you answered ‘Yes’ to all 5 questions, you may be eligible. Find out how to apply below.
Still uncertain if you can apply for the NDIS?
Contact NDIS by calling 1800 800 110, email enquiries@ndis.gov.au or visit the NDIS website for more information.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, there are two ways you can apply for NDIS funding. You can either call NDIA on 1800 800 110 to make a Verbal Access Request (VAR) or fill out a paper Access Request Form (ARF).
What documentation is required?
1. Completed Access Request Form (ARF) – ask your Local Area Coordinator, Early Childhood Early Intervention partner (if your child is under 7), your local NDIA office or call NDIA 1800 800 110 to receive a form.
A thing to remember…
When NDIS participants turn 65, they have the option to stay in the scheme or apply to receive support through aged care services.
