NDIS

Change life Australia can help with your NDIS access application and can also assist you in co-ordination of your supports.

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a national government scheme, providing individualised funding to a wide proportion of Australians with disability and their families. 

 

The NDIS is implemented by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). Local Area Coordination (LAC) and Early Childhood Early Intervention (ECEI) partners are also helping people understand the NDIS and access supports. 

The NDIA decides if you’re eligible for the NDIS and how much funding you’ll receive based on the legislation called the NDIS Act 2013. This determines conditions considered ‘reasonable and necessary’ for funding.


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

Be aged under 65 years upon accessing the scheme for the first time

Be an Australian citizen, or Permanent Visa and Protected Special Category Visa holder


Need support from a person due to permanent and significant disability or

Use special equipment due to a permanent and significant disability or

Need support now to reduce your future needs 


NDIS support funds could include:

Assistance with planning, decision-making and household tasks

Aid in building the capacity for living independently and achieve goals

Help in forming social relationships, financial and tenancy management skills

Support in community activities like recreation, education, training, and employment

Testimonial

“Change Life Australia has really helped me through the two years I have had the therapeutic support. The motivational strategies really helped me to lower my severe anxiety and stress that I was previously struggling with, for three years. Change Life Australia has empowered me to gain more confidence to leave my home and explore the community and everything life has to offer and also helped me to continue my education further. Breathing techniques and other practical strategies like self-awareness and mindfulness are really helpful and effective as well as the explanation for each strategy and reasoning behind them. Change Life Australia has helped me to use my wise mind and reasoning to better understand and approach certain situations.”
