Be NDIS ready
NDIS stands for National Disability Insurance Scheme. The NDIS supports people with a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to take part in everyday activities. The NDIS works with people with disability to identify supports that they need to live their life and develops a plan to fund these supports. Supports may help you achieve goals in many aspects of your life, including:
- Independence
- Involvement in your community
- Education
- Employment and
- Health and wellbeing
The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary supports that help you to achieve your goals such as: therapies, equipment, home modifications, mobility equipment, taking part in community activities, assistance with employment. An NDIS plan tailored to your individual needs will be developed to help you achieve your goals.
To access the NDIS you need to meet the following requirements:
- You have a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to take part in everyday activities
- You are under 65 years old when you first access the scheme
- You are an Australian citizen, live in Australia and hold a permanent visa, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
It can be challenging to keep track of all the different services and supports that make up your NDIS plan. Our coordination services can support you get the most out of your plan, by supporting you to:
- Find and connect with providers that meet your needs
- Implement your supports
- Coordinate the full range of your supports (even non-funded ones)

Your goals are an important part of developing your plan. They help us to get to know you and the things that are important in your life. We will talk to you about your daily life, where you live and who you live with. We’ll ask you what you want to do in the future and who supports you.
