The NDIS is administered by the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency), which is responsible for assessing eligibility, creating plans, and ensuring participants receive the necessary supports.

You may be eligible for NDIS funding if you are under 65 years of age, live in Australia, and have a permanent disability that affects your ability to perform everyday activities. An official eligibility check is required.

DSP stands for Disability Support Pension, a separate income support payment provided by Centrelink to people with permanent physical, intellectual, or psychiatric conditions.

SIL is a type of NDIS-funded support that helps individuals with disabilities live independently in a shared or individual home, with help from carers for daily tasks like cooking, cleaning, and personal care.

MTA is transitional housing support under the NDIS, provided for up to 90 days. It is designed for participants who are waiting for long-term housing or home modifications to be completed.

No. NDIS is available for those under 65 at the time of application. However, if you are already an NDIS participant and turn 65, you can choose to continue receiving support through NDIS or transition to aged care services.

NDIS funding can cover a wide range of support services including personal care, therapies, transportation, supported employment, daily living assistance, equipment, and home modifications.

No, NDIS does not cover general medical expenses, diagnostic tests, medications, hospital visits, or Medicare gap fees. These are typically covered by Medicare or private health insurance.

While both support people with disabilities, the NDIS and DSP are separate programs. Receiving the DSP does not automatically qualify you for the NDIS, and vice versa.
