What is The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of delivering funding. It makes sure that you, people living with a disability, receives the right funding to get the support and service important to them. There is now more freedom and choice in selecting support services.
The NDIS provides all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors and other services, support groups, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.

NDIS – Meaning
National: The NDIS is being introduced progressively across all states and territories.
Disability: The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.
Insurance: The NDIS gives all Australians peace of mind if they, their child or loved one is born with or acquires a permanent and significant disability, they will get the support they need.
Scheme: The NDIS is not a welfare system. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.
Who is Eligible?
If you have a disability that is likely to be permanent and that can make it hard for you to take part in everyday activities, you can access the NDIS. You need to meet the disability criteria, or your child must meet the early intervention requirements, as well as residency and age requirements.
