NDIS for Autism: How the Scheme Supports Families in Liverpool

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a key role in helping children and young people with autism access the therapies and supports they need to thrive. For families in Ashcroft, Busby & Sadleir, and surrounding areas, the NDIS can make a life-changing difference—by funding the right services at the right time.

Through your NDIS autism plan, your child may be eligible for a range of supports across three key funding categories:

  • Core Supports – Everyday help such as personal care, transport, or in-home assistance to improve day-to-day functioning and community participation.

  • Capacity Building Supports – Therapies like speech therapy, behaviour support, psychology, and counselling to develop skills, build confidence, and support long-term independence.

  • Capital Supports – One-off purchases such as assistive technology or home modifications that improve safety and access.

Whether your child’s diagnosis is autism Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3, we help you make sense of your NDIS autism funding, understand what’s considered reasonable and necessary, and ensure you’re using your supports to achieve real progress.

At daar, we’re committed to helping Ashcroft families get the most out of their NDIS plan by aligning supports with each child’s individual goals and daily environment.

NDIS Autism Eligibility & Funding

To access NDIS support for autism, your child must meet the eligibility requirements:

  • Be under 65 years old
  • Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
  • Have a formal diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) from a qualified professional
  • Demonstrate that autism significantly impacts daily life (communication, behaviour, learning, or self-care)

For autism Level 2 or Level 3, eligibility is generally straightforward and included under List A of the NDIS. For autism Level 1, the NDIA may require additional reports showing how the diagnosis impacts everyday functioning. We can help you prepare this evidence.

We also guide families in Liverpool, Casula, Moorebank, and Prestons through understanding their NDIS funding for autism Level 1, NDIS funding for autism Level 2, and overall autism NDIS funding options—ensuring your plan meets both criteria and practical needs.

Q: What Autism Supports Will the NDIS Fund?
