National Disability Insurance Scheme
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new way of providing support for Australians with disability, their families and carers.
The NDIS will provide about 460,000 Australians under the age of 65 with a permanent and significant disability with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life.
As an insurance scheme, the NDIS takes a lifetime approach, investing in people with disability early to improve their outcomes later in life.
Who is eligible?
You are eligible for the NDIS, if you are:
are under 65 when you make your application.
are an Australian Citizen or resident or permanent visa holder.
and meet the disability or early intervention requirements.
You can find out more information about the requirements here.
If you aged 65 years and over you will not be eligible for the NDIS. In most cases, you will receive support through the Commonwealth aged care system. For further information, refer to the NDIS for people aged 65 years and over.
The NDIA determines individual eligibility for the NDIS. The NDIA is the national agency responsible for running the NDIS.
