The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with psychosocial disability. The NDIS funds supports that can focus on improving your functional ability, and participation in social, work and community life.

Like all Australians, you may need to visit hospital from time-to-time when you get sick or injured. While you are in hospital, the health system takes care of your needs, including your disability related daily support needs.

The inclusion of disability-related health supports into NDIS funding packages provides an opportunity for providers to consider registering as an NDIS provider.

A key role of a support coordinator is to help participants to connect to NDIS and other supports.

For information about what supported independent living (SIL) does and doesn’t include and how we make SIL funding decisions, please read our Supported independent living operational guideline.

Personal care is one of the disability-related supports students get at school. It forms part of the adjustments schools provide to personalise learning and support for students with disability. If you are at a government school, your state or territory government pays for the support and it is delivered by your school.

Services and supports that can be delivered under the NDIS (and those not funded by the NDIS). Information about the three categories that supports for participants fall into: core, capital and capacity building.

Health professionals and service providers can support both applicants and participants in the NDIS.

The roster of care template and tool provide the NDIA with information about the participant seeking new or revised SIL funding.

Your goals can be big or they can be lots of smaller things you want to pursue. Your NDIS supports will help to meet your disability related support needs. You might also have goals you want to work towards that we can’t fund supports for. This is because helping you pursue your goals is only one of the NDIS funding criteria, so not all supports that help you pursue your goals will be reasonable and necessary.
