Check Eligibility: Determine if you qualify for the NDIS by using the Access Checklist on the NDIS website or contacting them directly. Eligibility is based on age, residency status, and the nature of your disability.

Gather Documentation: Collect necessary documents such as medical reports and assessments that demonstrate your disability and support needs.

Submit an Access Request: Complete an NDIS Access Request Form. You can download this form from the NDIS website, fill it out, and submit it via email or mail. Alternatively, you can request the form by calling the NDIS.

Assessment and Planning: The NDIS will review your application and may request additional information or assessments. If you meet the criteria, they will schedule a planning meeting with you.

Planning Meeting: During this meeting, an NDIS representative will discuss your needs, goals, and aspirations. They will develop a personalised plan and determine the funding you may receive.

Plan Approval: After the meeting, the NDIS will review and approve your plan. You will receive a formal letter outlining the supports and funding allocated to you.

Implement Your Plan: Once approved, you can start accessing the supports and services detailed in your plan. You can choose from registered NDIS service providers or manage your funds independently.
