NDIS
Let Eagleton Ridge help guide you through the NDIS. We can provide assistance to help Participants, families and carers through the process.
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme, also known as the NDIS, is run by the National Disability Insurance Agency, also known as the NDIA.
The NDIS is for eligible Australians who were either born with or acquire a permanent and significant disability. It funds reasonable and necessary supports and services that relate to a person's disability to help them achieve their goals.
How the NDIS works
Step 1
Are you eligible?
To find out if you are eligible for NDIS funding, head to the Eligibility Checklist to answer the required questions. These questions are just a guide, the final decision about eligibility is up to the NDIA.
Step 2
How do I apply?
If you meet the eligibility criteria you can ask to become a participant by completing an Access Request Form
‘Access Decision’ letter
If you are eligible for the NDIS and have received an ‘Access Decision’ letter, the next step is creating your NDIS plan.
Step 3
Creating your plan
The NDIS will ask questions about how you are going in different areas of your life, what goals you would like to pursue and what kind of help and support you need. This will help the NDIS develop a plan that provides the right support for you. Click here to find out more information on creating your plan
Step 4
Using your plan
Once your plan is approved, you need to understand different budgets, who can help you start using your plan, and how you plan is managed.
Step 5
Reviewing your plan and goals
Your first NDIS plan review usually falls 12 months after your plan started. Your plan review is the opportunity to check your supports are working for you and they are helping you pursue your goals.
