How NDIS works

How the NDIS works — explained simply

The National Disability Insurance Scheme can feel overwhelming at first. Here is everything you need to know, without the jargon.

Step by Step

The NDIS is for Australians under 65 with a permanent and significant disability. Check eligibility at ndis.gov.au or contact our team.

Submit an Access Request to the NDIA — online, by phone (1800 800 110), or via an LAC. Supporting evidence from treating professionals may be needed.

An NDIA planner or LAC develops your NDIS plan — describing your goals and the supports funded to help achieve them.

Select providers for each funded support. Pacific Community Care can provide support coordination to help you through this.

Supports begin, guided by your goals. Plans are reviewed annually — we help you prepare for each review.
