Justice system
If you’re involved in the justice system, you have the same rights as anyone to become or remain an NDIS participant. But there might be some extra things we consider when we work with you to create and reassess your plan. The justice system is responsible for some of your supports while you’re involved in the justice system.
There may be NDIS supports we can fund to help meet your needs while you’re involved in the justice system. The NDIS supports we fund, and the supports the justice system is responsible for, depend on whether you’re in custody or not in custody.
When we say disability support needs, we mean supports you need for the impairments that meet the disability or early intervention requirements, or both.
