What is the NDIA?

The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is the governing body of the NDIS. This independent organisation assesses your eligibility and determines the type of funding necessary for support.

In some cases, the NDIA will help you with your NDIS plan. Other times, participants work with an approved early childhood partner or Local Area Coordinator to draft a comprehensive plan that works for them.

What is a registered NDIS provider in Melbourne?

Registered NDIS providers offer support services or products to NDIS participants. These providers are screened and approved by the NDIA and must meet strict safety and quality standards. Providers range from big companies to not-for-profits and sole traders and assist participants with various goods and services.

Do I have to use a registered NDIS provider?

NDIS participants are not required to seek support from registered providers, with one exception: participants with plans managed by the NDIA. This means that if you are an NDIS participant and the NDIA looks after your plan, you MUST receive support from a registered provider.

However, some participants choose to self-manage their plans or seek assistance from a plan manager. Where this is the case, NDIS recipients have the option to receive support from both registered and unregistered providers. Keep in mind, though, that registered providers go through a stringent accreditation process, ensuring quality and ethical services that offer peace of mind.
