How Does the NDIS Work?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to give people with permanent and significant disabilities the support they need to live more independently, achieve personal goals, and participate in their communities. While the NDIS may seem complex at first, understanding how it works makes it easier to access the right help and make the most of your funding. Learn About More

The NDIS Step-by-Step

Step 1 – Access Request

You start by submitting an Access Request to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). This includes evidence from health professionals about your disability and the support you need.

Step 2 – Planning Meeting

If your application is approved, you’ll meet with an NDIS Planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to talk about:

● Your current challenges
● Your short and long-term goals
● The supports you need to reach them

This meeting shapes your personalised NDIS plan.

Step 3 – Plan Approval & Funding

Your plan will detail:

● Funding categories (Core, Capacity Building, Capital)

● Allocated budgets for each category

● How the money can be used Once approved, you can start using your funds to purchase supports and services.

Step 4 – Choosing Supports & Providers

You decide who will deliver your services. This can include:

● Registered NDIS providers
● Unregistered providers (if you’re plan-managed or self-managed)
● Individual support workers or therapy professionals

Step 5 – Using Your Plan

You can use your NDIS plan to access a wide range of supports, such as:

● Personal care and daily living assistance
● Allied health therapies (OT, physio, speech)
● Assistive technology and equipment
● Social and community participation
● Employment and education support

Step 6 – Plan Review

Your plan is reviewed regularly—usually every 12 months. This ensures it still meets your needs as your situation and goals evolve. You can request an early review if things change.

Common Questions About How the NDIS Works

Is NDIS funding the same for everyone?
