What is the NDIS
The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) provides necessary funding to Australians who have a permanent and significant disability.
Every person living with a disability has different needs. Your NDIS funding is there to provide you with the supports you need for your disability and help you work towards your goals.
Your funding is based on what is ‘reasonable’ and ‘necessary’ to pursue your goals, in addition to the support provided by family, friends, and other community and government services.
