• Be an Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident, or a New Zealand citizen (with Protected Special Category Visa)
• Having a permanent disability that impacts how you can communicate, move, care for yourself, or manage your life.
• You may also be eligible for early intervention if it substantially improves your functioning and quality of life, or delays/decreases a decline in you or your child’s functioning.
