How NDIS Works — Step by Step

1

Check Your Eligibility

You may be eligible for NDIS if you have a permanent disability that significantly affects your daily life. Age under 65, Australian citizenship or permanent residency, and disability related functional impairment are key criteria.

2

Make an Access Request

Contact the NDIS on 1800 800 110 or submit an access request form. You'll need evidence from a treating health professional outlining your disability and its impact on daily activities.

3

Attend Your Planning Meeting

Your planning meeting is where your NDIS plan is created. Prepare by listing your goals, current supports, and what you need to live a good life. A support coordinator or advocate can attend with you.

4

Receive and Implement Your Plan

Once approved, your plan will be available in the myNDIS portal. A support coordinator helps you choose providers, book services, and make sure your funding is working for your goals.

5

Plan Review

NDIS plans are typically reviewed annually. Document your progress, gather evidence, and prepare for your review meeting to ensure your funding reflects your evolving needs and goals.
