The NDIS, or National Disability Insurance Scheme, is an Australian government initiative aimed at providing funding and support for people with disabilities. It operates by offering individualised plans tailored to each participant's specific needs, goals, and aspirations.
To be eligible for the NDIS, you must meet certain criteria. This includes having a permanent and significant disability that substantially impacts your ability to carry out everyday activities. Age restrictions also apply, typically for individuals under the age of 65.
The NDIS funds a wide range of supports and services to help participants achieve their goals and enhance their quality of life. These may include assistance with daily activities, transportation, housing, therapy, and more.
To access the NDIS, you need to apply for eligibility and undergo an assessment process. You can start by contacting the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) or visiting their website for more information on the application process.
