If you or a loved one needs extra support at home, you may have come across the terms NDIS and My Aged Care. While both provide funding for care services, they are designed for different people and needs.

Understanding how these systems work can help you access the right support, feel more confident in your decisions, and make the most of the services available to you.

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding and support for people living with a permanent and significant disability.

The goal of the NDIS is to help individuals live more independently, build skills, and participate in everyday life.

Who is eligible for the NDIS?

You may be eligible if you:

  • Are under 65 years of age
  • Have a permanent and significant disability
  • Are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa
  • What support does the NDIS cover?

NDIS funding can be used for a wide range of disability support services, including:

Daily living and personal care
  • Community participation and social support
  • Transport assistance
  • Meal preparation
  • Cleaning and household support
  • Support coordination
  • Complex care

The focus is on helping you live as independently as possible while achieving your personal goals.

What is My Aged Care?

It connects you with approved aged care providers and services tailored to your needs.

Who is eligible for My Aged Care?

You may be eligible if you:

  • Are aged 65 years or older (or 50+ for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people)
  • Need support with daily tasks, health or mobility
  • Want to remain living independently at home

Services are designed to help you maintain independence, safety and quality of life at home.

NDIS vs My Aged Care: What’s the difference?

While both systems provide funding for in-home support, the key difference comes down to age and purpose.

  • The NDIS supports people under 65 with a disability
  • My Aged Care supports older Australians who need assistance as they age

Both programs focus on helping people live safely and comfortably at home, but the way funding and services are delivered differs.
