Achondroplasia is the most common form of dwarfism, a genetic condition affecting bone growth and resulting in short stature, limb shortening, and potential complications including spinal stenosis, joint pain, and hearing difficulties. NDIS eligibility for achondroplasia depends on the functional impact rather than stature alone, with many people accessing supports for mobility, home modifications, and assistive technology. Support needs vary widely depending on associated medical complications.
