Step-by-Step Guide to Using the NDIS 
                     Step-by-Step Guide to Using the NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was created to provide 
individualised help to Australians with disabilities. If you think you could 
qualify for NDIS assistance but haven't looked into it yet, we'll walk you 
through the steps you need to do to get started.

Examine Your Eligibility
Despite the fact that the NDIS assists over 400,000 people each year, there 
are still severe eligibility requirements to complete before you may receive 
NDIS support. If you're not sure if you're eligible, visit the NDIS website and 
answer their questions before moving on to the next step.
Complete the form
Once you've determined whether you're eligible, you'll need to fill out an 
Access Request Form, which can be downloaded from the NDIS website. You 
must notify yourself, as well as your location, legal guardian, and impairment. 
The Access Request Form is somewhat extensive, and you may need assistance 
learning or filling it out.
After you've completed this form, send it to the NDIS via email, mail, or your 
local National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) office.

Make sure you're ready for a planning meeting
You'll be invited to present at an NDIS planning meeting in person, online, or 
over the phone once the NDIA has examined and accepted your Access 
Request Form. This discussion digs a little deeper into who you are, what 
services you currently use, and what support you might need in the future 
from different NDIS providers to help you achieve your goals.
Make use of a plan manager
You may be feeling a bit overwhelmed at this point in your quest for NDIS 
assistance, which is totally normal. If your NDIS exploration becomes 
stressful, it's a good idea to request a plan manager during your planning 
meeting. A plan manager can help you leverage your money, negotiate 
estimates with NDIS providers, and keep track of your finances and budget to 
ensure you don't overspend or underspend at no additional cost.
