NDIS Info & Resources

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australian government initiative to bring quality support closer to people living with disability and enhance their standard of living. Recognising the importance of addressing this need, the NDIS makes funding accessible to people in need all across Australia. So if your life has been affected by physical, intellectual, sensory or mental disability, you can receive quality support for your needs, from low to high intensity, with help from the NDIS.

How do I know if I qualify for funding from the NDIS?

The NDIS has a short list of criteria in order for people to qualify and become a participant. You have to be between the ages of 7 and 65, you must be living in Australia with a permanent or significant disability, and you must be a citizen, have a permanent visa or a Protected Special Category Visa. If you fall into these categories, you are likely to be eligible for NDIS funding, and we encourage you to begin your application process so you can start receiving our quality supports for a better life.
