Eligibility for High Intensity Support is determined on a case-by-case basis by the NDIS.

The goal is to provide comprehensive support that is tailored to the participant’s unique requirements.
To access High Intensity Support under the NDIS, you should begin by contacting the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
