Understanding the NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative aimed at providing support and services to individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. Its primary purposes are to offer financial assistance for a range of services that help individuals enhance their quality of life and achieve their goals, while empowering them to have choice and control over the supports they receive. The NDIS is designed for Australians under 65 years old who have a disability that affects their ability to perform daily activities, including children with developmental delays. It supports individuals by providing personal care and daily living assistance, access to therapy services, funding for assistive technology, and opportunities for social and community participation. Additionally, the NDIS offers employment support, coordination of services to help navigate the scheme, and regular plan reviews to accommodate changing needs. Ultimately, the NDIS aims to foster independence and improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, enabling them to participate fully in society.
Here’s how we can help you make the most of it:
