While you’re being supported by your early childhood partner with early connections, you may decide that you want to apply to the NDIS on behalf of your child.
Your early childhood partner can support you to put together information and evidence to apply to the NDIS if you decide to. This includes evidence of how your child’s functional capacity is affected.
If your child transitions from early connections to become an NDIS participant, we’ll use information gathered about goals, assessments, and connections with community and mainstream supports to help create your child’s NDIS plan. You’ll then receive a plan that sets out your NDIS supports. NDIS supports are the services, items, and equipment the NDIS can fund.
To find out more about being eligible for the NDIS go to the Applying to the NDIS guideline.
You can read more about how we make decisions about NDIS plans in Our Guidelines – Creating your plan and Your plan.
