What documents or assessments are required to confirm NDIS eligibility?

To confirm your eligibility for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you’ll need evidence of your disability. Work with your treating health professionals, who can provide the necessary documentation. Common treating health professionals include:

• General Practitioner (GP)
• Paediatrician
• Orthopaedic surgeon
• Occupational Therapist
• Speech Pathologist (Therapist)
• Neurologist
• Psychologist
• Psychiatrist
• Physiotherapist

The treating health professional who provides the evidence of your disability should:

• Relevance: Be the most appropriate person to confirm evidence of your primary disability.
• Duration: Have treated you for a significant period, typically at least six months.

Choosing the Right Treating Health Professional:

Refer to the Types of disability evidence information to help decide the most suitable treating health professional for your primary disability. If you encounter challenges gathering the required evidence, Local Area Coordinators (LAC) or early childhood partners are available to assist you.

Understanding the documentation and assessments needed for NDIS eligibility is crucial. Collaborate with your healthcare professionals and support services to ensure a smooth application process.
