Disability supports
NDIS
The NDIS funds eligible disability supports through a separate scheme. NDIS access does not automatically create Centrelink entitlement, and Centrelink entitlement does not automatically create NDIS access.
What this part of the system means
NDIS
This section will map NDIS access, planning, funded supports and review pathways separately from Centrelink disability payments. Compass will keep the distinction explicit because the NDIS is a support-funding scheme, while payments such as DSP are income support.
Decision prompts
Questions to answer first
These do not determine eligibility. They help identify which payment, scheme or authority to check next.
Is the issue about functional impairment and support needs rather than income replacement?
Are mainstream health, education, housing or employment services also relevant?
Do you also need to check a separate Centrelink payment such as DSP or Carer Payment?
Primary sources
Where this section will be grounded
Compass links back to the administering agency or official scheme. Placeholder content is deliberately kept separate from a formal entitlement decision.
