NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) funds the costs associated with disability. The scheme was legislated in 2013 by the Australian Government and is administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

Access to full funding for people under 65 and with a “permanent and significant” disability is potentially available for any “reasonable and necessary” support need related to the disability. The funding is allocated to the individual, and the individual or their guardian then choose which providers supply the qualifying goods and services. Certain restrictions do apply and a proper assessment is required.

“The NDIS is not a welfare system. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.”
