Applying for the NDIS in Tasmania isn’t just about meeting eligibility—it’s about showing clear evidence of how your disability affects daily life. Here’s what you’ll need:
1. Proof of Identity and Residency
You must show that you are under 65, an Australian citizen or permanent resident, and live in Australia. Documents like a driver’s licence, Medicare card, passport, or birth certificate are commonly used.
2. Medical Evidence of Disability
Health professionals (GPs, specialists, or allied health providers) should provide reports confirming:
-
Your primary disability and when it was diagnosed.
-
That it is permanent or likely to be long-term.
-
Why treatment won’t fully restore function.
3. Functional Impact Reports
The NDIS looks beyond diagnosis—it wants evidence of how your condition limits everyday activities. Occupational therapists, physiotherapists, or psychologists can provide assessments covering:
-
Mobility and movement.
-
Communication and social interaction.
-
Learning, memory, or problem-solving.
-
Self-care and daily tasks.
4. Supporting Statements
Additional evidence can include:
-
Completed NDIS Supporting Evidence Forms.
-
Reports from the past 12 months.
-
Carer or family statements describing the daily support you need.
Together, this evidence helps demonstrate that the supports you’re requesting are reasonable, necessary, and essential for independence and participation in community life.
