NDIS support is generally available for individuals aged between 7 and 65. If you are under 7, you may be eligible for early childhood intervention programs. If you are over 65, please explore aged care services for support.
To qualify for NDIS, you must be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa (SCV).
The NDIS provides support for individuals with a permanent and significant disability that impacts daily activities.
Early intervention may help reduce future support needs if you have a condition that is likely to be permanent.
