The National Disability Insurance Scheme is the national way of providing individual support for people with disability, their families and carers.
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.
To be eligible you must:
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.
Call the NDIA on 1800 800 110 between 8am and 5pm or visit the NDIS website.
There is a new multilingual hotline and website that provides information on disability and the NDIS in 14 languages.
Read more on the hub's website.
