What is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide comprehensive support and services for individuals with disabilities. The NDIS aims to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities by offering personalized funding for a range of supports tailored to their specific needs. This includes assistance with daily living activities, personal care, and community participation. Eligible Australian citizens or permanent residents with permanent and significant disabilities can benefit from the scheme.
Participants receive a tailored budget that allows them to choose and control the support they need, whether it’s therapy, home modifications, or personal assistance. Through the NDIS, individuals can select from a variety of registered service providers, giving them the flexibility to find the best fit for their needs. The program focuses on helping individuals engage more fully in their communities and achieve their personal goals, representing a significant shift towards individualized, person-centered care.
