Can I access the NDIS?
Access
How do you apply?
As a priority cohort, the NDIA is contacting YPIRAC clients to
commence access and planning. NDIA Planners are holding face-to-
face access and planning conversations with the prospective
participants, and if relevant their nominee and/or support person.
If a prospective participant isn’t contacted by the NDIA, the resident
can contact the NDIS on 1800 800 110 and request an Access
Request Form to be sent to test eligibility.
What if I do not meet the NDIS
requirements?
