NDIS eligibility criteria for psychosocial disability.

About NDIS

The National Disability Scheme (NDIS) is an Australia-based scheme for people with disabilities. It includes psychosocial disability funding provision under the Support Coordination system. The psychological disability that impacts the participants’ lives seems to be permanent, needs recovery, and is likely to qualify them for NDIS support. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) directly provides funding to eligible participants so they can choose their service and buy as needed.
