What is the age requirement for NDIS eligibility?

• A. Be under 65 years old.
• B. Be 65 years or older.
• C. Between 18 and 65.
• D. There is no age requirement.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that eligibility for the NDIS is limited by age: you must be under 65 years old when you apply for access. This means children and adults up to age 64 can apply if they meet the disability and other requirements. If you are 65 or older at the time you apply, you aren’t eligible for new NDIS access. If someone turns 65 after starting with NDIS, their existing supports can continue under the scheme, but you can’t gain new access after that age.
