What is the process for enrolling or registering for NDIS disability support services?

The process for enrolling in NDIS disability support services involves the following steps:

Determine Eligibility:  To get started, check if you’re eligible for NDIS . The checklist is a helpful tool to gauge whether you meet the criteria for NDIS support.

Application Options:  If you believe you are eligible for NDIS support and wish to apply, you have two primary options:

1. Verbal Application:  You can initiate the application process by calling the NDIS on the toll-free number 1800 800 110 . During this call, you can provide essential information and express your intent to apply for NDIS services.
2. Fill in a form: Alternatively, you can opt to complete an  Access Request Form . This form gathers comprehensive details about your needs and circumstances. Once filled out, you should submit it to the NDIS as part of your application.

Seek Assistance:  If you require assistance or have questions during the application process, it is advisable to reach out to relevant sources for guidance. You can contact:

• Local Area Coordinator:  These coordinators specialise in helping individuals navigate the NDIS application process. They can provide information and support tailored to your specific region.
• Early Childhood Partner:  If your application involves services for early childhood, early childhood partners are available to offer specialised assistance.
• NDIA Office: The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) has offices that can assist with your application process and address any queries you may have. Please contact us for any advice on the process, however, please note that we are unable to make an application on your behalf.
