What is the NDIS?

What is the NDIS?

There are about 4.3 million disabled people in Australia. An estimated 500,000 Australians under 65 with persistent and serious disabilities will receive $22 billion in payments annually through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) over the course of the next five years. Many people will be receiving the necessary disability help for the first time as a result.
The NDIS can give all persons with disabilities information and connections to local services including doctors, sports teams, support groups, libraries, and schools, as well as details about the support services offered by each state and territory government.

What does NDIS stand for?

  • National: The NDIS is being introduced progressively across all states and territories.

  • Disability: The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.

  • Insurance: 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.

  • Scheme: 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.

Support can be given to you either alone or in a group setting.
