The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.
The NDIS also connects anyone with disability to services in their community.
This includes connections to doctors, community groups, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as providing information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
The NDIS now supports over 500,000 Australians with disability to access the services and supports they need.
This includes supporting approximately 80,000 children with developmental delay, ensuring they receive supports early so that they achieve the best outcomes throughout their lives.
For more information you can view the Participant Service Charter.
We’re introducing a new computer system and some improvements to the way we deliver the NDIS. Find out about what we're doing next.
We’ve been working on how we can improve the way we deliver the NDIS. We’ve spent time talking to participants, our staff, NDIS partners, providers and the disability community to work out the ways we can improve the experience people have with the Scheme.

If you think you are eligible for the NDIS you will be supported to apply by one of our local area coordination or early childhood partners.
Find out how long this takes in our Participant Service Guarantee.
In some areas, we don’t have partners. In non-partner areas we recommend you contact us on 1800 800 110 to be supported to apply to the NDIS.
The NDIS is just one service system for Australians with disability, developmental delay or developmental concerns.
The disability supports provided through the NDIS complement, but don’t replace, mainstream or community services provided by other service systems in the general community, such as education, health, mental health services and community groups.
Our NDIS partners can help people and families learn about and access the supports available in their community and supports available through the NDIS.
If the NDIS is available in your area and you don't get any disability supports, you can call 1800 800 110 and make an Access Request over the phone. If you prefer, you can ask for a form to fill out. If you need help filling out the form or making the call, contact your Local Area Coordinator, Early Childhood Early Intervention partner or your local NDIA office.

If you currently get disability supports and the NDIS is available in your area, we will contact you.
If you decide you would like to transition to the NDIS, you may need to provide additional evidence so we can make a well-informed decision about your NDIS eligibility.
If you are eligible, your current disability supports and services will stay the same until you get your approved NDIS plan.
If you are not eligible, your state, territory or Commonwealth governments will continue to provide your disability services.
