You may meet the early intervention requirements:
- if you have an impairment or condition that is likely to be permanent and there is evidence that getting supports now (early interventions) will help you by:
- reducing how much help you will need to do things because of your impairment in the future and
- improving or reducing deterioration of your functional capacity or
- helping your family and carers to keep helping you and
- those supports are most appropriately funded through the NDIS, and not through another service system.
OR
- you are a child aged under 6 years of age with developmental delay which results in:
- substantially reduced functional capacity in one or more of the areas of self-care, receptive and expressive language, cognitive development or motor development and
- results in the need for a combination and sequence of special interdisciplinary or generic care, treatment or other services which are of extended duration, and are individually planned and coordinated; and
- those supports are most appropriately funded through the NDIS, and not through another service system.
