NDIS
An Introduction to NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program that provides financial assistance and key information to individuals living with psychological, cognitive, sensory, physical, and intellectual disabilities. The goal of NDIS is to give individuals and families affected by disability the resources they need to live fulfilling lives.
The NDIS is not a welfare program, but rather a way for individuals with disabilities to gain greater independence and control over their lives. The NDIS provides a range of supports and services, including therapy, personal care, equipment, and home modifications, as well as assistance with employment and education. The aim is to provide individuals with the resources they need to live fulfilling lives and to achieve their goals and aspirations, regardless of their disability.
To be eligible for the NDIS, individuals must have a permanent disability that affects their ability to perform daily tasks, or a developmental delay that affects their ability to learn or engage with their community. The scheme is available to Australians under the age of 65 who meet the eligibility criteria, regardless of their income or level of disability.
