Funding for Disability Support

Funding for disability support in Australia primarily comes from the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which provides funding directly to eligible people to pay for services that help with daily life, community access, and skill development.

NDIS

The NDIS provides funding for eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills and an improved quality of life. Funding is provided through an individualised plan that outlines your goals and the support you need to achieve them. You can choose from a wide range of services, including:

  • In-home and personal care
  • Therapy and skill development programs
  • Assistive technology
  • Transport and community participation


As a registered NDIS provider, we can help you access the funding, services, and support you need to live more independently and work towards your personal goals.

How to Apply for Funding

Getting started with the NDIS can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Discover if You’re Eligible

Eligibility for the NDIS is based on factors such as your age, residency status, and whether your disability is caused by a permanent impairment. To determine if you’re eligible, you can visit the NDIS website.

To apply to become an NDIS participant you need to complete an NDIS Access Request Form. There are a number of ways you can complete your application. You can:

  • Visit a Local Area Coordinator*, who can help you complete your application and talk to you about the evidence required
  • Download the Form from the NDIS website and submit it via the NDIS contact page with the relevant supporting documentation
  • Print out the form and mail it to the NDIS (PO Box 700, Canberra ACT 2601)
  • Call the NDIA on 1800 800 110 and ask them to send you the form
  • Visit an NDIS office and ask for a copy of the form and then email or mail it to the NDIA with the relevant supporting information.


The NDIA will make a decision on your application within 21 days.

*Local Area Coordinators can help people with disability, their families and carers to apply for NDIS funding and can also connect you to mainstream and community support in your local area. 

For more information, or to download a copy of the NDIS Access Request form, visit the NDIS website.
