NDIS Information for Melbourne True Care

At Melbourne True Care, we understand that navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can be challenging. That's why we've put together this comprehensive NDIS information page to help you better understand the NDIS and how it can benefit you or your loved one.

NDIS Overview

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program designed to provide support and funding for Australians with disabilities. The NDIS aims to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to the necessary resources and services to lead an independent and fulfilling life.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the NDIS, an individual must:

• Have a permanent and significant disability that impacts their ability to participate in everyday activities
• Be under 65 years of age when they first access the NDIS
• Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa

Planning & Support

Once an individual is deemed eligible for the NDIS, they will work with an NDIS planner or Local Area Coordinator (LAC) to develop a personalized support plan. This plan outlines the individual's goals, needs, and funding allocation for various supports and services.
