NDIS Information and Resources

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to support millions of Australians with disabilities, aiming to enhance their skills and independence. The NDIS assists individuals with physical, intellectual, sensory, cognitive, or psychosocial disabilities. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) provides funding to eligible individuals and children with developmental delays. If you believe you qualify, you can apply to become an NDIS participant, and the NDIA will determine your eligibility. Once approved, you'll receive an access decision letter, allowing you to create and use your personalised plan. NDIS providers in Brisbane offer support and services to all participants in Queensland. As of December 2021, 102,548 people in Queensland, known as participants, benefit from the NDIS. Participants are individuals with permanent and significant disabilities, each with a unique plan outlining their goals, required support, and funding. The NDIS ensures they receive the necessary funding to access these supports and services for a fulfilling life. NDIS service providers are crucial to the scheme, serving as the main contact points for participants. These providers can be organisations, companies, or individuals delivering services to help participants achieve their goals. They can be either registered with the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) or unregistered. Registered providers meet specific quality and safeguard standards set by the NDIS. The key difference between registered and unregistered providers is that registered providers offer a broader range of services, including Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA), Supported Independent Living (SIL), Plan Management, behaviour support, and supports involving restrictive practices. Participants with plan-managed or self-managed NDIS plans can use both registered and unregistered providers, while those with agency-managed plans must use registered providers. Although not all NDIS service providers are required to register with the NDIS Commission, registered providers guarantee quality and safety services based on the NDIS Practice Standards. Choosing a registered provider ensures a commitment to high standards, adherence to NDIA price caps, and direct invoicing to your NDIS portal. Plan it now, not later.
