NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that provides funding and support to individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. The scheme is designed to enhance the quality of life for participants by enabling access to essential services, therapies, and assistance that promote independence and social inclusion.

The NDIS operates under the principles of choice and control, allowing participants to select the services and providers that best meet their needs.

How Does the NDIS Work?

The NDIS is a needs-based program where eligible participants receive funding tailored to their specific disability-related requirements. This funding covers a wide range of supports and services that help individuals achieve their personal, social, and professional goals.

Key Aspects of the NDIS:

• Eligibility: The NDIS is available to Australian citizens, permanent residents, or protected Special Category Visa holders under the age of 65 with a permanent and significant disability.

• Funding: The funding is personalized and varies based on an individual’s needs, focusing on capacity building, daily support, and access to essential services.

• NDIS Plans: Each participant receives an NDIS plan, which outlines their funding and approved supports. This plan is regularly reviewed to ensure it remains aligned with the participant’s needs.

• Self-Management vs. Plan Management: Participants can choose to manage their own NDIS funds, have a plan manager assist them, or let the NDIA manage their funding directly.

What Services are Covered Under the NDIS?

The NDIS provides funding for a variety of services and supports that fall into three categories:

1. Core Supports

2. Capacity Building Supports
