NDIS providers are community organisations or individuals who deliver disability support to eligible NDIS participants. Service providers must be registered under the NDIS and meet specific government requirements to legally deliver support.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a national government scheme that provides funding to Australians aged under 65 years living with types of physical, learning or mental disabilities, so they can receive the adequate support they need to live independently as possible. Aged care funding will take over upon turning 65.

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is responsible for assessing your eligibility for NDIS funding.

To be eligible to receive funding from NDIS registered providers, you must:

• Be under 65 years of age (My Aged Care applies over 65).
• For children, they must be aged over 7 years of age.
• Be a citizen or permanent resident of Australia.
• Have an impairment or condition that is likely to be permanent (lifelong) which stops you from doing everyday activities by yourself, or prevents you from living independently.
