What is NDIS?
Supporting People with Disability to Build Their Future Through NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is more than just funding, it is an opportunity to build the life you want. We are here to help you navigate the scheme with confidence, ensuring you receive the personalised care and resources necessary to live a fulfilling and independent life.
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) helps Australians with a permanent and significant disability get the support they need. It’s not about welfare. It’s about giving you choice and control over your life. The NDIS can help pay for things like therapy, changes to your home, or support to get to work and take part in the community. It’s all about supporting your goals and helping you live more independently.
Principles and Objectives of NDIS
Participants have the right to decide what support they need and who provides it. The NDIS gives you the power to tailor your plan to fit your life and your goals.
The NDIS puts you first. It focuses on your unique strengths and challenges, ensuring supports are customized to improve your wellbeing and help you live independently.
We believe in a fair go for everyone. The NDIS ensures equitable access to support for all eligible Australians, regardless of where they live or their background.
To access NDIS support, you need to meet these requirements:
- Age: You must be under 65 years old when you apply.
- Residency: You need to be an Australian citizen, a permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
- Disability: You must have a permanent disability that significantly affects your ability to manage everyday activities.
- Early intervention: You may also be eligible if early support can reduce future support needs and help you live more independently.
