Resources to help patients access the NDIS

The RACGP and the National Disability Insurance Agency have collaborated on new resources to help you support your patients to access the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Developed with help from RACGP members, the resources include an online learning module, videos on eligibility, an eligibility checklist and information on other health professionals involved in the NDIS.

If you have any feedback on the resources or suggestions for what else the RACGP can do to support you and your patients participating in or wishing to apply for the NDIS, email healthreform@racgp.org.au
