What is the NDIS?
There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years the NDIS will provide an estimated 500,000 Australians who have permanent and significant disability with funding for supports and services. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
How do I apply?
If you think you are eligible for the NDIS, you can:
contact your Local NDIS Office or Local NDIS partner and ask them to support you to connect with local disability supports or apply to the NDIS if eligible.
phone the NDIS on 1800 800 110 to be supported to apply to the NDIS.
If you do not have access to a partner in your area, we recommend you contact the National Contact Centre on 1800 800 110 to be supported to apply to the NDIS.
Sometimes I can make mistakes I am only human after all but in the event that I do make a mistake I would really hope that we can talk about your issue so I can learn to better deliver my service to everyone by adjusting how I do things to suit the people I support.
If at any time you do not think speaking to me can solve your issue you can submit a complaint to the NDIS quality and safeguards commission.
You may seek support from family, a friend or an independent advocate in making a complaint.
