You may be eligible if you are younger than 65 when you apply, live in Australia, and are an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Protected Special Category visa holder. You also need to meet the disability or early intervention requirements. An NDIS partner can help you understand how these requirements apply to you.
Plain-English guide
Understanding the NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme funds supports for eligible Australians with disability, but the paperwork can feel like another language. Here is the plain-English version from our Adelaide team.
The NDIS in a nutshell
The NDIS is Australia's national scheme for funding disability supports, run by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). If you're eligible, your plan sets out funding for supports connected to your goals and circumstances. You choose who provides those supports.
How AureonRise Care fits in
We deliver the supports your plan funds: help at home, getting out into the community, supported accommodation, and nursing care. We work with agency-managed, plan-managed and self-managed participants across Adelaide, and we price in line with the NDIS Pricing Arrangements so there are never surprises.
See our services or book a free plan chat — we'll walk through your plan line by line and explain exactly what you can use.
Plain-language answers
NDIS questions, answered simply
Core supports help with everyday needs such as personal care and community access. Capacity Building supports help build skills and independence, such as therapies or support coordination. Capital supports can include assistive technology or home and vehicle modifications. Your plan may not include every budget type.
It's about who pays the invoices. Agency-managed means the NDIA pays registered providers directly. Plan-managed means a plan manager pays providers for you (you can use registered and unregistered providers). Self-managed means you handle the funds and claims yourself, with the most flexibility.
Yes — choice and control is a core NDIS principle. Check your service agreement's notice period, then your new provider (like AureonRise Care) can help manage the transition smoothly.
If you entered the NDIS before turning 65 you can choose to stay with it. Otherwise, supports for over-65s are provided through the aged care system — and AureonRise Care provides private in-home care for older South Australians too.
A good first step is to contact an NDIS partner in your area. They can help you understand the process and gather the right information. You can also call the NDIS on 1800 800 110. An Access Request Form can be used to provide information about your situation and supporting evidence when needed.
