What Is NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide support and services to individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. The NDIS aims to enhance the quality of life for participants by funding personalized plans that address their unique needs, goals, and aspirations. Through the NDIS, participants can access a wide range of supports, including therapy, assistive technology, community participation, and independent living assistance, empowering them to live more independently and fully engage in their communities.

Supports not funded by the NDIS

A support will not be funded if it:

  • is not related to the participant’s disability
  • is the same as other supports delivered under different funding through the NDIS
  • relates to day-to-day living costs that are not related to a participant’s support needs
  • is likely to cause harm to the participant or pose a risk to others
  • can be more appropriately or effectively delivered by another system, such as health or education.
