Apply to the NDIS

    Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for the NDIS

    Applying for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. When the process is broken into simple, manageable steps, it becomes much more achievable — and at IGY6 Foundation, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

    We proudly support veterans, first responders, and their families to apply for the NDIS free of charge, depending on eligibility. Our experienced team helps you understand the requirements, gather supporting evidence, and feel confident throughout the application process so you can access the support you deserve.

    But our support doesn’t stop once you’re approved.

    If you choose, we can also help you understand, navigate, and make the most of your NDIS plan through Support Coordination. We break down what your funding covers, explain how each category works, connect you with trusted providers, and ensure your plan is working for you — not the other way around.

    Our team walks beside you, helping you:

    Understand your goals and translate them into practical supports
    Navigate budgets and funding categories

    Create a strong, reliable network of providers who understand your journey

    Resolve any challenges along the way

    Build confidence in using your plan independently over time

    At IGY6, we believe accessing support should feel empowering — not confusing. Whether you’re applying for the first time or need help understanding your current plan, we’re here to make the journey clearer, easier, and truly personalised to your needs.

    • Step 1: Check Eligibility

      Ensure you meet the NDIS criteria
      • Age: You must be under 65 years of age.
      • Residency: you must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
      • Disability: You must have a permanent disability that significantly impacts your ability to perform daily tasks or require early intervention.

    • Step 2: Gather Supporting Documents

      Collect all the necessary documents to support your applications, such as:
      • Diagnosis confirming your disability and saying it is permanent.
      • Any treatment already done for your disability and the results.
      • A Functional Assessment.

    • Step 3: Let IGY6 Guide You

      Contact IGY6 for personalised assistance with your NDIS application. The team will provide clear guidance on what’s needed and support you every step of the way.

    • Step 4: Await the Outcome

      The NDIA will assess your application and notify you of the decision. This may take several weeks.

      IGY6 can assist you in preparing for your planning meeting and can attend it with you for additional support.

    • Step 5: Navigating your NDIS Plan

      Once your NDIS plan is approved, IGY6 will help you navigate the scheme, ensuring you can access and maximise the services and funding provided.
