Individuals seeking NDIS support can receive assistance from various healthcare professionals including a GP, paediatrician, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, neurologist, psychologist or psychiatrist to provide evidence of their primary disability.
The treating health professional who has treated you for at least six months is most appropriate to provide evidence of your disability. It is to note that different disabilities may require different types of evidence. For more information please visit Types of disability evidence.
If you require assistance in gathering the appropriate evidence, the Local Area Coordinators (LAC), early childhood partners and NDIA can provide more support. However, it’s important to know that the person assisting you with the evidence collection cannot determine whether you meet the NDIS eligibility criteria; only the NDIS can make that decision.
