About NDIS
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government scheme that funds reasonable and necessary costs for people with disability.
About NDIS
NDIS provides all Australians under the age of 65 who have a permanent and significant disability with the support that they need to achieve their goals, become more independent, increase their involvement in the community and leading to a better quality of life for participants and their carers.
People who are eligible for NDIS support are called participants. Each participant has their own NDIS plan that identifies the outcomes they wish to achieve, the supports that will be funded by the NDIS and other supports the person requires.
The scheme can be very complex and daunting for newcomers and existing participants, hence we are giving you the full assistance to simplify the process for you.
