Information about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and the support they can provide to people who have a significant and permanent disability.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is for people with a disability. To be part of the NDIS you have to meet the access requirements.
You will need to contact the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and ask for an Access Request Form. If you are already receiving disability supports you should be contacted by the NDIA.
The Access Request Form asks questions to see if you meet the access requirements. If you already get disability supports, your support provider may be able to provide this information. Otherwise, you may get a doctor or specialist to provide information.
For more information, see How to apply on the NDIS website.
If you are unhappy with a decision about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) you can ask for a review of that decision. This is like an appeal. It is not the same as the review that comes at the end of your plan period or a review that you can ask for if you have a change of circumstances.
Many decisions can be reviewed, including decisions about whether you can access the NDIS and decisions about what is in your plan including what funding for supports are provided.
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) applies to goods and services purchased through the NDIS. These rights are called 'consumer guarantees.'
