Steps to Access the NDIS

Step
01
Understand your needs
Begin by identifying the challenges you face in your daily life and the types of support you need. This might include personal care, transport, therapy, or equipment.
How we help: At iKare Support Services, we can help you understand how the NDIS could benefit you and provide advice tailored to your situation.
Step
02
Submit an Access Request
The first official step is to submit an Access Request Form (ARF) to the NDIS. This form includes questions about your disability, personal details, and evidence of your condition.
-
You can submit this form online, by phone, or with the help of a Local Area Coordinator (LAC).
-
You’ll need supporting documents from healthcare professionals to confirm your eligibility.
How we help: We can assist you in gathering the right documents and completing your Access Request Form to ensure everything is accurate and complete.
Step
03
Wait for the Outcome
Once your application is submitted, the NDIS will review your details. They may contact you for additional information or clarification. This process may take a few weeks.
How we help: If there are any delays or follow-up requests, we’ll stay by your side to ensure the process runs smoothly.
Step
04
Develop Your NDIS Plan
If your application is approved, you’ll work with an NDIS planner to create a personalized plan. This plan outlines the goals you want to achieve and the supports you need.
-
Examples of goals: Improving independence, accessing the community, or learning new skills.
-
Supports may include funding for support workers, therapies, assistive technology, and more.
How we help: As NDIS experts, we can guide you through the planning process, helping you identify your goals and the support required to achieve them.

Review and Adjust Your Plan

How we help: We’ll assist you in preparing for plan reviews and provide feedback on how your supports are working to achieve your goals.
