What is the NDIS?
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of living for people with a disability to get the care and support they need to live their best life.
The NDIS is available across all states and territories, providing support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with a disability or children with a developmental delay.
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.
NDIS – what does it mean for me?
