If you’re considering applying for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), it’s important to understand what’s involved. At NDIS Superhero, we support participants at every stage—from application to plan management—so you can access the funding and supports you need.
Steps to Apply for the NDIS
To apply, you’ll need to provide information about:
- Your primary and secondary disabilities
- How your disability impacts your daily life
- The types of supports or services that would help you reach your goals
You can gather this information from your doctor, specialists, allied health professionals, or disability support providers.
A key part of the process is completing an NDIS Access Request Form, which officially starts your application.
Tips for a Successful NDIS Application
- Talk to your doctor early about getting the right medical reports.
- Consider your life goals—what services or supports will help you live more independently, safely, and confidently?
- Think about which disability will be listed as your primary disability, and if there are secondary disabilities that also affect your life.
- Get help from a disability advocate who can make the process easier and improve your chances of success.
How Local Area Coordinators (LACs) Can Help
LAC partners can guide you through the NDIS process by:
- Explaining how the NDIS works
- Helping you develop your NDIS plan (note: LACs cannot approve plans)
- Connecting you to local services and community supports
- Supporting plan reviews and updates
Even if you’re not eligible for NDIS funding, LACs can link you to other useful supports in your community.
You can find your local LAC or NDIS office by visiting NDIS Locations or calling 1800 800 110.
