There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years the NDIS will provide an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability with funding for supports and services. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
Answer some simple questions to see if you may be able to apply for the NDIS. These questions are just a guide, the final decision about eligibility is up to the NDIA.
If you think you are eligible for the NDIS, you can:
contact your local NDIS Office or speak to your local NDIS partner and ask them to support you to connect with local disability supports or apply to the NDIS if eligible.
phone the NDIS on 1800 800 110 to be supported to apply to the NDIS.
If you do not have access to a partner in your area, we recommend you contact the National Contact Centre on 1800 800 110 to be supported to apply to the NDIS.

NDIS PLAN
CREATING YOUR PLAN
Your plan is a written agreement worked out with you. Everyone's plan is different. We will ask questions about how you are going in different areas of your life, what goals you would like to pursue and what kind of help and support you need. This will help us to develop a plan that provides the right support for you.
