To become an NDIS participant, applicants must complete an access request form and provide evidence of their disability. The evidence must be provided by a health professional such as a doctor, psychologist, or occupational therapist. The evidence should outline the participant’s diagnosis, functional limitations, and support needs.

Once approved for NDIS, participants can work with a Support Coordinator to develop a plan to access the support and services they need. Support Coordinators are professionals who assist NDIS participants to navigate the NDIS system and connect them with the services and supports they require.

Support Coordinators work with participants to identify their goals, strengths, and needs. They then help the participant to develop a plan that outlines the services and supports required to achieve their goals. Support Coordinators can also assist participants to find service providers, negotiate prices, and manage their NDIS funding.
