What is NDIS?
NDIS is the National Disability Insurance Scheme which provides funding to people with a permanent and significant disability to access the supports and services they need to build skills and capability so they can participate in the community and employment
NDIS supports are funded to
Access mainstream services and supports
These are the services available for all Australians that you receive from people like doctors or teachers through the health and education systems. It also covers areas like public housing and the justice and aged care systems.
Access community services and supports
These are activities and services available to everyone in our community such as sports clubs, community groups, libraries or charities.
Receive reasonable and necessary funded supports
The NDIS can pay supports that are reasonable and necessary for you. This means they a are related to your disability and are required for you to live an ordinary life and achieve your goals.
Maintain your informal support arrangements
This is help you get from your family and friends. It is support you don’t pay for and is generally a part of most people’s lives.
