At TCH Care, we’re here to help you make the most of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Whether you’re new to it or just need a better understanding, this guide breaks it all down for you.
The NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, which is designed to provide funds and support for people with disabilities living in Australia. This program was started by the Gillard Labour Government on the 1st of July in 2013, beginning with a trial called the NDIS Launch and then implemented in Australia on July in 2016.
NDIS was the first national scheme introduced by the Government of Australia for people with disabilities and is managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), which approves the payments for individualized support packages and creates individualized plans based on the requirements of participants. It helps over 500,000 Australians with disabilities by providing funding and support for the services they need.
You can get more information from the NDIS official website or reach out us here. We’ll get back to you soon!
Get the right support, make informed choices, and maximize your NDIS plan with our expert guidance.
The NDIS process might seem overwhelming at first, but by understanding its processes, benefits, and eligibility criteria, you can confidently navigate and access the support you need.
First, you check if you’re eligible based on age, residency, and the nature of your disability.
If you're eligible, you'll meet with an NDIS planner to discuss your goals and the kind of support you need. This becomes your personalized NDIS plan.
Once your plan is approved, you can start using your NDIS funding to pay for services that help you achieve your goals.
NDIS provides funding and support for individuals with disabilities to live more independently with the necessary support and Care they need. To apply for the NDIS funding, an individual must satisfy the following eligibility requirements:
You must be under 65 years old when you apply.
You need to be an Australian citizen residing in Australia or possess a protected special category visa.
You must have a permanent and significant disability that impacts your daily life.
You must require early intervention support to reduce the impact of a disability or developmental delay.

NDIS can provide a wide range of support to help you with your daily living and achieve your goals. It provides lifelong support for you, allowing you to gain more time with family and friends, gain more independence, access essential services, and improve your quality of life.
From 3rd of October, participants will only be allowed to use their NDIS funding for the items categorized as approved supports. There are certain types of support which are not approved by the NDIS to provide funds.
NDIS has designed 15 services to meet your unique needs, and at TCH Care, we offer many of these services to support your NDIS plan. These services are categorized under 03 support budgets:
