Accessing the NDIS can feel overwhelming — but you don’t have to do it alone. At Support Agency, we understand how stressful it can be to navigate the system and make sense of the paperwork. That’s why we’re here: to guide you step by step and make sure you get the support you need.

 

Around 4.3 million Australians live with a permanent or significant disability. The NDIS was created to provide funding and services that support independence, improve quality of life, and help people achieve their goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

To access the NDIS, you must first meet the eligibility criteria:

  • You are aged between 7 and 65 years old.
  • You live in Australia, are an Australian citizen, permanent resident or eligible Visa holder
  • You have a permanent or significant disability, use special equipment due to your disability, and
  • You need reasonable and necessary support for your future needs. Support Agency can help you check your eligibility.

After meeting the criteria set by the NDIS, Support Agency can assist you with the paperwork required by the NDIS and submit evidence that will support your application.

If you are already receiving support from other disability support services, the NDIA will contact you to discuss your transition to the NDIS. If you are eligible, your current disability supports and services will stay the same until you get your approved NDIS plan. This transfer process may be a difficult for you; Support Agency can help relieve the stress of understanding how the system works and help you in your transition to the NDIS.
