Not sure if you or someone you care for can access the NDIS?

Understanding NDIS eligibility can feel confusing at first, but it usually comes down to a few key questions:

✅ Are you under 65 when you apply?
✅ Do you live in Australia?
✅ Are you an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or protected Special Category Visa holder?
✅ Do you have a permanent impairment that affects daily life?
✅ Could early intervention support help reduce future support needs?

The NDIS is not based on your income. It looks at how your disability or impairment impacts your everyday life, independence, and participation.

At Re.Connect Support Services, we help individuals, families, and carers better understand NDIS support options and take the next step with more confidence.

How to Apply for the NDIS

Not sure where to begin? Here is a simple starting guide:
1. Check if you may be eligible
2. Gather your supporting information
3. Connect with an NDIS partner or submit an access request
4. Wait for an access decision
5. Start planning the supports that fit your goals

The NDIS says applications may require evidence about your disability and how it impacts your daily life.

Re.Connect Support Services is here to help make the process feel clearer, calmer, and more connected.

🚩 “They’re just being nice…”

But what happens when a support worker starts texting outside shift hours, asking personal questions, accepting gifts, or doing favours outside the plan?

That’s where healthy boundaries matter.

In NDIS support, boundaries are not about being rude, cold, or difficult. They help protect your safety, privacy, independence, and comfort.

A good support relationship should feel:

✅ Respectful
✅ Professional
✅ Clear
✅ Safe
✅ Focused on your goals

You are allowed to say:

“I’m not comfortable with that.”
“Please only message me about my shifts.”
“I’d prefer we keep things professional.”
“Can we check this with my provider first?”

Because support should empower you, not pressure you.

Read our practical guide on setting boundaries with support workers and learn what healthy, respectful support should look like.

🚨 Has your NDIS provider increased their rates?

Before you panic, pause and check what it actually means for your plan.

The 2025/26 NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits are now in effect, which means some support costs may look different this year. But here’s the important part: a price increase should still be clear, fair, and explained properly.

Before agreeing to new rates, ask:

✅ Is this within the current NDIS price limits?
✅ Has my service agreement been updated?
✅ Will this affect how long my funding lasts?
✅ Do I still feel comfortable with the value of the support I’m receiving?

You deserve transparency, choice, and control over your supports.

At Re.Connect Support Services, we help participants understand their options, review changes, and feel more confident navigating their NDIS plan.
