NDIS Essentials: Understanding Your Support Options
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s innovative approach to supporting people with disability. It provides personalised funding directly to you instead of service organisations, empowering you to choose the supports and services that best meet your unique needs and goals.
Designed for Australians under 65 with permanent and significant disability, the NDIS helps you access the supports you need to live independently and participate fully in your community.
Am I Eligible for the NDIS?
You may qualify for NDIS support if you:
- Are under 65 years of age when you apply
- Are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category visa
- Have a permanent disability that substantially impacts your everyday activities
- Require support now that will help reduce your needs in the future
Managing Your NDIS Funding
The NDIS offers three ways to manage your funding:
1. Self-Management
You handle all financial responsibilities yourself, including paying providers and claiming reimbursements.
2. Plan Management
A registered plan manager like Nepeve Care Services handles all financial administration while you maintain full provider choice.
3. NDIA Management
The National Disability Insurance Agency manages your funding, but you’re limited to using only NDIS-registered providers.
