What Is The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support for Australians who are under 65 years old and have a permanent and significant disability; that is, a disability that is likely to last for your lifetime and that affects your ability to complete everyday tasks.

In Victoria, over 100 000 people benefit from participation in the NDIS — for 40 000 of those people, this is the first time they have received the support services they need. We are happy to be a small part of that here in Bentleigh. The scheme is implemented by the National Disability Insurance Agency, who help participants develop an NDIS plan that details your personal goals, aspirations and any support you need to get you there.

Participants may only require support in certain areas of their life — travel, for example, or employment and community activities — while others may need more assistance to improve the quality of their everyday lives.

As time passes, your NDIS plan will inevitably change. Having a support coordination expert on your side will allow you to allocate all your funding properly, manage what services you need (and what ones you don’t) and connect you with Bentleigh service providers.

Suburbs We Regularly Service

There are many people who are not aware of the benefits of applying for the newly introduced National Disability Insurance Scheme which is aimed at helping people living with permanent and significant disabilities to be able to lead normal lives with the right support. As such, there is nothing that should limit you in making the right choice hence the only way to be able to lead a normal life even though you are disabled, there are many things that you will need hence the reason for the establishment of this insurance scheme. In Bentleigh, if you or are living with a person with a disability, it is advised that you visit the nearest NDIS agent who is going to guide you through the process with much ease. Below are some of the things you should meet to be able to qualify for NDIS.

One of the first things that you will need to meet is to make sure that you are an Australian citizen or hold a protected special category visa. There are many people who live in Australia and especially in Bentleigh who have moved from other parts of the world to seek greener pastures. Though they are living in the country, they may not be able to qualify for NDIS as they are not Australian citizens or do not hold the right papers to qualify.

The other thing that you should know is that you must be aged 65 years and under to be able to be given the insurance cover. Though there is a possibility that people living with disabilities aged over 65 years, there are certain criteria that they will be required to meet in order to be given the cover. However, the major priority is for people who are aged under the age of 65 years hence you should confirm with the local NDIS agent within Bentleigh to establish if you are qualified to receive the support.

Another major factor is that you must have a permanent and significant disability which you may have been born with or you got due to an accident, war among many other things. It should be visible and must show that it hinders you from being able to carry out your daily activities the way you should. There are some people who are living with minor disabilities and who do not face major challenges hence they do not qualify. The good thing with NDIS is that it does not keep out people from the cover as it does not select where and how you got your disability. It is open to all who qualify without discriminating them on where and how they got their disability.

All in all, NDIS is meant to make the lives of people living with disabilities to be more convenient and without depending on people. It is aimed at providing the disabled with independence of how they lead their lives. It is for this reason that you will need to visit the nearest NDIS agent to determine whether you qualify and also establish the best plan for yourself.
