Who is Eligible for NDIS 24-hour Care?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded plan helping people with disability gain more independence and control. To be eligible for NDIS, the person must be:
Between the age of 9 and 65
Australian citizens, permanent residents or Protected Special Category Visa holders
Have a disability caused by a permanent impairment
However, not all participants require 24-hour support. Here are some instances when around-the-clock care might be required:
Suffering from Psychological Disability
A person with limited cognitive ability might need 24/7 care and supervision.
Recovering from Severe Illness or Surgery
Support workers can provide around-the-clock assistance to patients recovering post-surgery or severe diseases. They can assist with medicine management, transportation or physical therapy as needed.
Eligibility for NDIS 24-hour care and supervision is determined on a case-by-case basis through a comprehensive assessment. The NDIS assessment process involves:
Submitting Access Request
A support coordinator initiates the process by submitting an Access Request form to the NDIA. This form outlines the person’s disability, current supports, and desired outcomes.
Meeting Initial Eligibility
The NDIS reviews the Access Request to determine if the individual meets basic eligibility criteria, such as age, residency and disability.
Referral to Independent Assessor
If the individual meets initial eligibility, the NDIA refers them to an independent assessor to evaluate their functional capacity and support needs.
Independent Assessment
The assessment is based on information provided during the registration or renewal application. It is done on a case-by-case basis, and the NDIS Commission considers several criteria to determine if the provider and their personnel are suitable. The assessment helps the NDIS understand how 24-hour care could help you reach your goals.
Access Decision
Based on the assessment findings, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission decides about the individual’s NDIS support. This decision includes determining the level of support required.
Applicant Informed of Outcome
Your NDIS plan must first be approved by the NDIA. After approval, your early childhood partner, LAC, or NDIA planner will either hand it to you in person or send a paper copy to your preferred address.
