HCA is proud to be an approved NDIS provider
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) makes decisions about whether someone is eligible to become an NDIS participant. If someone is deemed eligible, the NDIA will then decide how much funding they will receive.
The NDIS covers and provides support for a wide range of disabilities.
To apply to the NDIS, the first thing to do is check if you meet the eligibility requirements.
A NDIS plan outlines your goals and the supports that may help you achieve those goals while living your life as independently as possible.
There are three different ways to manage your NDIS funding.
NDIS funding is designed to cover the reasonable and necessary supports you need to manage your disability and work towards your goals.
The NDIS funds a variety of supports and services that can include personal care, mobility aids, therapy, home modifications, and help with community participation.
To switch NDIS providers, you must locate your service agreement then follow 3-step simple steps.

The NDIA want to deliver the fastest pathway to make decisions about home and living supports that respect a participant’s individual circumstances and often complex needs.
From 9 June 2022, the process of requesting home and living support will change for participants. Home and living support are considered part of your overall NDIS plan. This means that there is no need to ask for a change to these supports separately from your regular plan reviews.
To request home and living supports, you can use the new Supporting Evidence Form – Home and Living in one of these ways:
This form will be an excellent guide to select the correct option based on your current needs. It is recommended that this form be supported with all relevant information.
Once the form is complete, the form can be returned in one of three ways:
Email: enquiries@ndis.gov.au
Mail: NDIA, GPO Box 700, Canberra ACT 2601
In person to your local NDIS or partner office.
Changes have been made to:
After conversations with everyone who interacts with the NDIA, they were able to identify these improvements and an opportunity to streamline their processes. The NDIA wants to make sure decisions are made quickly and consistently.
This form can be brought along to a scheduled plan review or if help is required from your planner. If you want there to be a consideration for new or additional home and living supports to the current plan, follow the existing process to request a plan review.
If you are submitting before a scheduled plan review, do so within 100 days of your review. All this means is that it will ensure all information that is needed is gathered early which reduced the need to ask for further clarification or information.
If you have already submitted and Home and Living Supports form, you will not need to do anything else. The request will still be processed and considered.
The NDIA has published a new ‘Would We Fund It’. It provides real-life examples of how they make decisions for funding diverse kinds of support. New examples include-
