NDIS eligibility for families explained.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) eligibility criteria for families primarily focus on the individual with a disability rather than the family unit as a whole. To be eligible for the NDIS, an individual must meet certain criteria.
Eligibility for accessing NDIS support explained:
- Permanent Disability: The disability must be permanent or likely to be permanent, significantly impacting the person’s ability to participate effectively in daily activities.
- Age and Residency: The individual must be under 65 years of age when applying and must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
- Disability Impact: The disability should substantially affect the person’s functional capacity in areas such as communication, mobility, social interaction, learning, or self-care.
