The NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an insurance support scheme of the Australian Government that funds costs associated with disability. The scheme was legislated in 2013 and went into full operation in 2020. The scheme is administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

The first step is to find out if you are eligible for the NDIS. If you are eligible, you will need to submit an Access Request Form to the NDIA for approval. Once your plan is approved, you can contact a registered provider such as Maple Community Services (1800 780 964) for information on what we do and how we can help you achieve the goals outlined in your plan.

Step 1. Determine if you’e eligible.

The first step in accessing the NDIS is to check your eligibility to apply for the NDIS. Your location, age, and whether you meet the requirements for disability or early intervention support all contribute to your eligibility for the NDIS. You can also check your eligibility by following the questions available on the NDIS website using the Eligibility Checklist.

Step 2. Apply for NDIS Funding

If you meet the criteria for accessing the NDIS, you can apply to become a participant. You can call the NDIS and ask to make an ‘Access Request’. You may need to include evidence of your disability when you apply – such as information on what your disability is, how long it will last and how it impacts your life. The NDIS website outlines the type of evidence you may need to provide.

Step 3. Create a Plan.

Your NDIS Plan will be a written agreement as to the types of supports and services you will receive funding for. It’s important to go into your planning meeting well prepared. You should think about your immediate support needs and the long-term and short-term goals you want to achieve through your NDIS Plan. Try to be as specific as possible.

Step 4. Start Achieving you Goals.

Once approved, you can start to use your plan to help you to move towards achieving your goals. Depending on your plan, you can get help from your Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) Coordinator, Local Area Coordinator (LAC), or Support Coordinator

Once your NDIS Plan has been approved, you may begin contacting providers to begin receiving services you may be eligible for. To find out how Maple Community Services can help you achieve the goals set out in your NDIS Funding Plan; get in touch with us via our Contact Page.
