The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is responsible for assessing eligibility for the NDIS. They review applications and determine if individuals meet the criteria for NDIS support.
You can check your eligibility for the NDIS by visiting the official NDIA website or contacting them directly. They provide detailed information on the eligibility criteria and can assist you in assessing your eligibility.
