On its own, ADHD is not usually covered by the NDIS. That’s because it can be hard to meet the NDIS eligibility criteria for permanent and significant disability based on ADHD alone.
An adult or child with ADHD who is responding well to treatment such as medication is unlikely to be eligible for the NDIS.
ADHD often exists alongside primary disability types such as autism, intellectual disability, learning disability or global developmental delay. These primary disabilities are usually referred to as the main condition, with ADHD considered a co-occurring condition. Someone with one of these primary conditions may be more likely to meet the NDIS eligibility requirements.
