To be eligible for NDIS, you have to fulfil the following criteria:
- You have to be between 9 and 65 years of age
- You have to be an Australian Citizen
- You have to be a permanent Australian visa holder
- Your restrictions have to be such that they are permanent or at least be sustainable for a long period of time, and they should affect your life and the way of you are living

What is the NDIA or National Disability Insurance Agency?
The National Disability Insurance Agency or NDIA is an independent Commonwealth government agency, which is responsible for implementing the NDIS. The NDIA helps empower you and provides information and referrals, links to services and activities, individualised plans and funded support to you all throughout your life, if needed.
Can I choose the type of support I need?
Yes definitely. This has been one of the principal advantages of NDIS. The very purpose of NDIS is to assist you in living the life of your choice with as much independence as you can, and help you meet your needs of life. So, it provides you the leverage of choosing the type of support as well as the support provider.
Can I change the support worker if I am not happy with the professional?
Surely. You can change your support worker anytime you want. Your preference is our topmost priority. All you need to do is to call us in advance and let us know about your needs and desires.
Will you control my NDIS funds while assisting me?
Not at all. We just guide you to utilise the NDIS funds in a proper and feasible way to ensure that you do not run out of funds midway into the tenure of a plan. But we never control or handle the funds. They are controlled by you or someone you have nominated.
