What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support services for participants with any kind of developmental delay or disability in Australia. It allows people with disabilities to achieve their goals, participate in the community, and live independently.
What does the NDIS provide?
The NDIS will provide all Australians under the age of 65 who have a permanent and significant disability with the reasonable and necessary supports they need to enjoy an ordinary life.
How will the NDIS help me?
The NDIS will help people with disability achieve their goals. This may include greater independence, community involvement, employment and improved wellbeing.
How long does it last?
As an insurance scheme, the NDIS takes a lifetime approach, investing in people with disability early to improve their outcomes later in life.
How does the NDIS help my family?
The NDIS also provides people with disability, their family and carers with information and referrals to existing support services in the community.
