The Companion Card is a powerful tool in Australia for people with disability who require support to engage in community life. While it is not part of the NDIS, it complements your supports by easing the cost barrier of including a companion in social, cultural, or recreational activities.

Applying for the NDIS can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. Many people miss out on the support they need simply because of small, avoidable mistakes in their application. From not providing enough evidence to downplaying your needs, these simple slip-ups can make all the difference. In this post, we break down the most common NDIS application mistakes and how to steer clear of them so you can give yourself the best chance at getting approved.

The right support worker can make a big difference in your day-to-day life, whether they’re helping with personal care, joining you on community outings, or supporting you to build life skills.
