What is the NDIS?

​

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide support and services to individuals with a permanent and significant disability. Its primary aim is to enhance the independence and social and economic participation of people with disabilities by providing them with the necessary resources and assistance tailored to their specific needs.

Key features of the NDIS include:

Individualised Plans: Each participant receives a personalised plan that outlines the support they need. This plan can cover a wide range of supports, including personal care, therapeutic assistance, and equipment needed to improve quality of life.

Participant Choice and Control: The scheme empowers individuals by giving them control over the types of support they receive, how it is delivered, and when it is provided.

Community and Mainstream Support: In addition to individualised plans, the NDIS also works to connect participants to broader services available in the community, such as health, education, and public services.

Focus on Early Intervention: The NDIS emphasises early intervention, providing support to individuals early on to reduce the impact of disabilities over a person's lifetime.

The NDIS represents a major shift in the way disability support is provided in Australia, moving away from a welfare-based model to one that is more centreed around empowering individuals and providing them with choices tailored to their needs.
