Kids At Max Supports NDIS Funded Participants
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. For children under 7, early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible children with a developmental delay.
How do I apply for NDIS?
1. Call NDIS – 1800 800 110 to obtain the Access Request Form – NDIS will ask questions about your child’s disability and eligibility criteria.
2. Kids At Max can help you complete the NDIS Supporting Evidence Form. For Kids At Max to provide supports, either NDIS Self Managed or NDIS Plan Managed funding options would need to be selected.
3. The application process may take several months and includes a parent meeting with NDIS to determine what supports are required for your child.
