What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a new way for people with disability to receive support, offering more choice, control and a lifetime approach to each person’s needs. It is usually referred to as the NDIS. To get started with the NDIS you will talk with a planner who works for or with the National Disability Insurance Agency, the NDIA or a Local Area Coordinator.
How does the NDIS help you?
- Pursue your goals and aspirations
- Actively take part in the community
- Be more independent
- Take part in social activities and work
Who is eligible for NDIS?
You may meet the disability requirements if:
- You have an impairment or condition that is likely to be permanent
- Your impairment substantially reduces your ability to participate effectively in activities, or perform tasks or actions unless you have assistance from other people
- You can’t participate effectively even with assistive technology, aides and equipment
- Your impairment affects your capacity for social and economic participation
- You are likely to require support under the NDIS for your lifetime
