NDIS
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was introduced in 2013 and is how people with disability under the age of 65 receive specialised care and support for their health and wellbeing. The scheme is overseen by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and allows individuals with a permanent and significant disability to access government funding.
The NDIS focuses on the individual and provides them with the choice to decide where and how to use their funding. Supports can be across many areas, including employment, allied health, accommodation, independence, outdoor activities, sport and community access.
Through the NDIS, funding goes directly to the individual to allocate spending on the services they need from the provider of their choice. A plan is created for each eligible NDIS participant based on specific individual needs and progress goals.
Understanding the NDIS
NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and is a new approach to service delivery and funding for people with a disability. The NDIS puts people with disability at the centre of the system for the first time – allowing them to determine their own future and receive funding which matches their needs and aspirations.
