NDIS Support Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program that provides support and funding for Australians with permanent and significant disabilities. It helps participants achieve their goals in areas like independence, social participation, education, and employment.
Who is eligible for the NDIS?
To be eligible for the NDIS, you must:
- Be under 65 years old
- Have a permanent and significant disability
- Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
How do I apply for the NDIS?
You can apply for the NDIS by submitting an Access Request Form through the NDIS website, calling 1800 800 110, or contacting your Local Area Coordinator (LAC).
What types of support does the NDIS cover?
The NDIS funds various supports, including:
- Daily personal care
- Home modifications
- Therapy services (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychology)
- Assistive technology
- Social and community participation
- Employment and education support
How can I contact the NDIS for more information?
You can contact the NDIS by calling 4050037552 or visiting the official website at capabilitycare.com.au
Can I change my NDIS plan if my needs change?
Yes, you can request a plan review if your needs change. You can do this through your Local Area Coordinator, support coordinator, or the NDIS portal.
What is a Support Coordinator, and do I need one?
A Support Coordinator helps you understand and use your NDIS plan effectively by connecting you with service providers and ensuring you get the most out of your funding. Not all participants require a Support Coordinator, but it can be beneficial for managing complex needs.
Can family members be paid to provide care under the NDIS?
In most cases, the NDIS does not fund family members to provide support, except in exceptional circumstances where no other suitable provider is available.
What should I do if my NDIS application is denied?
If your application is denied, you can request a review of the decision by contacting the NDIS within 90 days of receiving the outcome. You may also seek external review through the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
How do I find NDIS-approved service providers?
You can find registered NDIS service providers through the NDIS Provider Finder on the NDIS website or ask your Support Coordinator or Local Area Coordinator for recommendations.
