The NDIS & You

The NDIS wants people under 65 who have disability to be able to:

Lead an ordinary life
Reach their goals in life

An ordinary life means enjoying the things most people have or do. What an ordinary life means for a young person might be different for an older person.

For example:

School might be a big part of an ordinary life for teenagers
A good job might be a big part of an ordinary life for an adult

To help people under 65 with disability to lead an ordinary life the NDIS pays for supports that are reasonable and necessary. Reasonable means something that is fair. Necessary means something that you must have.

What the NDIS does

The NDIS pays for different support for different people.

Who can get the NDIS?

You must be under 65 years of age to get help.
You must be allowed to live in Australia forever. This means you were born in Australia or have a special piece of paper saying you can live in Australia.
You must have a permanent disability that fits the NDIS rules. Permanent means the disability will not go away or need early intervention. This means to treat something early

Services that anyone can use

The NDIS might be able to help people with disability use services that everyone in the community can use. For example:

Go to school
See a doctor
Use a library
Join a club
