The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers various supports and services to individuals with disabilities in Australia. Registered NDIS providers play a critical role in delivering these services, ensuring participants receive the necessary assistance to lead fulfilling lives.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) oversees these providers to maintain high standards of quality and safety. The NDIS Commission is an independent body established to improve the quality and safety of services funded by the NDIS plan. It works collaboratively with participants, providers, and the sector to ensure NDIS participants receive high-quality support in safe environments.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers a range of supports to help children with disabilities reach their full potential. If you have a child under 6 with a developmental delay, or under 9 with a disability, the NDIS Early Childhood Approach can be a valuable resource.
Connecting with an Early Childhood Partner
Your first step is to connect with an NDIS-funded Early Childhood Partner (ECP) in your local area. These qualified professionals have the experience and knowledge to support your child's development. They can work with you to understand your child's unique needs and develop a plan to achieve their goals.
What to Expect from an NDIS Early Childhood Plan
An NDIS Early Childhood Plan is a personalized document outlining the supports and services that will benefit your child. This plan is created collaboratively between you, your ECP, and other relevant professionals involved in your child's care.
Local Area Coordinators and the NDIS Commission
Local Area Coordinators (LACs) are NDIS employees who can provide information and guidance about the Early Childhood Approach. They can also connect you with relevant services in your community. The NDIS Commission oversees the entire NDIS program, ensuring its quality and effectiveness.
Quality and Safeguards Commission
The independent Quality and Safeguards Commission (QSC) monitors NDIS providers to ensure they meet high quality and safety standards. This includes organizations delivering Early Childhood Approach services. Being registered with the NDIS Commission ensures these providers meet the NDIS requirements.
Finding the Right Support for Your Child
The NDIS Early Childhood Approach offers a range of supports, including therapies, assistive technology, and support for you and your family. Working with your ECP can create a plan that provides the best possible foundation for your child's development.
