What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australia-wide initiative that supports individuals with disabilities.

It gives participants the opportunity to have control over the support services they receive, allowing individuals to lead a fulfilling life, pursue their goals and aspirations, and engage in daily activities.

The NDIS connects participants with mainstream supports and provides additional assistance that they may need. Through collaborative efforts, it helps individuals identify the various supports necessary for them to achieve their goals in different areas of their life, such as independence, community involvement, education, employment, and overall well-being.

Moreover, it ensures that they have greater autonomy in accessing supports, guaranteeing ongoing assistance throughout their lifetime. Additionally, the scheme places a strong emphasis on early intervention, recognizing that timely support can mitigate the impact of disability for both individuals and their family.

What types of supports are funded?

These services and supports can take many forms. They may be based around enhancing mobility, communication, self-care and self-management and capacity for economic and social participation.

The types of supports that the NDIS may fund for participants include:

• daily personal activities
• transport to enable participation in community, social, economic and daily life activities
• workplace help to allow a participant to successfully get or keep employment
• therapeutic supports including behaviour support
• help with household tasks to allow the participant to maintain their home environment
• help to a participant by skilled personnel in aids or equipment assessment, set up and training
• home modification design and construction
• mobility equipment, and vehicle modifications.
