What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s government-funded support system for people living with permanent and significant disabilities.

It is designed to help participants achieve their goals, improve independence and enhance their overall quality of life.

Who is eligible?
To access the NDIS, individuals must:
✅ Be aged between 9 and 65
✅ Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident or Protected Special Category Visa holder
✅ Have a permanent disability that significantly impacts daily life

What support does the NDIS provide?
NDIS funding can cover a range of services and supports, including:

• Daily Living Support

• Transport

• Therapeutic supports (e.g. occupational therapy, speech therapy)

• Assistive technology

• Behaviour Support

• Support coordination

• Employment assistance

• Home modifications

• Social and community participation

How does the NDIS work?
Each participant receives a personalised plan based on their needs and goals. This plan outlines the funding available and the types of support that can be accessed.
