What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), overseen by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), is a comprehensive program designed to support eligible Australians with permanent and significant disabilities. The term ‘permanent disability’ refers to conditions likely to last throughout a person’s life, while ‘significant disability’ denotes impairments that substantially impact their ability to carry out everyday activities.

The NDIS provides funding for reasonable and necessary supports and services tailored to each individual’s disability to help them achieve their specific goals. ‘Reasonable’ means that the support is best funded or provided through the NDIS, while ‘necessary’ refers to essential assistance related to the person’s disability.

Working with NDIS Information Providers:

The NDIS operates nationwide with the support of community partners. These local organizations play a vital role in delivering NDIS services and can provide valuable guidance on available supports and services in your area.

Becoming an NDIS Participant:

Eligible individuals who become NDIS participants receive funding to pursue their personalized goals outlined in their NDIS plan. Each person’s goals differ, ranging from speech or communication therapy to obtaining assistance for daily living activities or acquiring specialized equipment for home or community use. Other objectives may involve acquiring new skills, gaining and maintaining employment, fostering independence, and forming meaningful connections.

Collaborating with Service Providers:

Once an individual has their personalized NDIS plan, they collaborate with chosen service providers who will support them in reaching their goals. Service providers encompass professionals like psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, offering a range of supports and services.
