Understanding the NDIS Process – Step by Step
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded initiative designed to provide essential support and services to Australians living with a disability, their families, and carers. It offers funding to eligible individuals under the age of 65 to help them live more independent, empowered, and connected lives.
At Care Provisions Australia, we’re here to guide you through the entire NDIS journey—from understanding your eligibility to implementing your support plan with confidence. As a trusted NDIS provider in Melbourne, our team offers compassionate guidance, practical advice, and ongoing support at every stage.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the NDIS process:
Begin by contacting the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to check your eligibility.
📞 Call 1800 800 110 or visit ndis.gov.au
If you’re already receiving government disability support, you may be contacted automatically to transition into the NDIS.
You’ll be assigned a Local Area Coordinator (LAC) or NDIS planner who will take time to understand your personal situation, needs, and future goals—for yourself or your child.
Together with your LAC, you will:
Explore your current support networks
Define your NDIS goals (e.g., building life skills, finding work, accessing the community)
Identify the types of support needed (e.g., therapy, personal care, assistive technology)
Your LAC will help create a customised NDIS plan, which may include:
Informal supports from family, friends, or the community
Services from schools, doctors, or health professionals
Funded supports for services related to your disability
Once approved by the NDIA, you’ll receive your official NDIS plan with allocated funding.
Now it’s time to choose the right providers to deliver your supports.
We recommend researching and shortlisting based on:
Experience and qualifications
Cultural understanding
Location and service flexibility
