It provides eligible people with more flexible choice and control in how they receive the support they need.
We were one of the first areas in Victoria to receive access to the NDIS. It is available in the North East Melbourne Areas, which includes the City of Whittlesea.
Who can access the NDIS?
To be eligible you must:
- live in an area where the NDIS is available
- meet the age and citizenship requirements
- meet either the disability or early intervention requirements
How do I access the NDIS?
If you are currently receiving support from the State Government (such as an individual support package, attending facility-based respite or accessing early childhood intervention services) you will be contacted by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
If you are not currently receiving disability support from the State Government, you can contact NDIA to find out more.
Further information
Call the NDIA on 1800 800 110 between 8am and 5pm or visit the NDIS website.
