How Does NDIS Work?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) operates by providing eligible individuals with a personalized support plan tailored to their specific needs and goals. Once someone is deemed eligible, they work with an NDIS planner or local area coordinator to develop a plan that outlines the support and services required to enhance their quality of life.
This plan is then funded by the NDIS, allowing participants to access a range of supports, such as therapies, assistive technology, personal care, and community participation services. Participants have the flexibility to choose their providers and manage their funding, either independently or with assistance. The NDIS aims to empower people with disabilities by giving them control over the services they receive, promoting independence and participation in all aspects of life. Regular reviews ensure that the plan evolves with the participant’s changing needs and circumstances.
