Yes, you can still access the NDIS if you've received compensation for your injury or disability, it just changes how your funding is calculated.

The NDIS is designed to work alongside compensation rather than double up on it. If part of your compensation was for future care and support, the NDIA takes that into account when working out your plan funding.

The important thing: it doesn't lock you out of the scheme. You can still apply, still get a plan and still access supports.

Compensation situations can be genuinely tricky, so it's worth getting advice specific to your circumstances. The NDIS website covers how compensation is treated.
