NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding and supports for people with disability.  It gives eligible people greater choice and control and allows them to access the services that they require based on their individual needs.

Is my Child eligible?

You can find out if your child/ young person is eligible for funding under the NDIS by calling the National Disability Insurance Agency on 1800 900 110 or going to NDIS Access Checklist . If you are eligible you will be sent forms to complete and return to the NDIS, who will then process your registration.
