A simple guide for families starting with the NDIS.
Navigating the National Disability Insurance Scheme can feel confusing, especially at the beginning. This page explains the basics in plain language and shows how Sunnyside can walk beside you.
Understanding the NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme provides funding for supports and services for people with significant and permanent disability in Australia.
Generally, Australian citizens or permanent residents aged 7–65 with a significant and permanent disability that affects daily living may be eligible.
Most people apply by completing an NDIS Access Request Form and sharing evidence from health professionals about their disability and functional impact.
You can choose agency‑managed, plan‑managed, or self‑managed funding, or a combination, depending on what works for you.
