To determine if you are eligible for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), you need to meet certain criteria established by the scheme. Here are the general steps to assess your eligibility:

1. Age: You must be under 65 years of age
2. Residency: You need to be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
3. Disability Requirements: The NDIS focuses on providing support to individuals who have a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to participate in everyday activities. The disability should be likely to last for a lifetime or a significant duration.
4. Functional Impact: The disability must have a substantial impact on your ability to perform everyday tasks and activities without assistance or support.
It’s important to note that eligibility criteria can vary, so it’s advisable to consult the official NDIS website or contact the NDIS directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information. The website provides detailed guidelines and information to help determine eligibility. Look for NDIS Access checklist online or call the NDIA on 1800 800 110.
