NDIS helps people by providing funding, assistance and quality support.
What is the NDIS?
The NDIS operates by providing reasonable and necessary funding directly to eligible individuals with disabilities. This funding is personalized and tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each participant. To receive NDIS funding, individuals must have a permanent and significant disability that impacts their daily functioning and requires ongoing support. It recognizes that everyone’s journey is unique and encourages participants to actively participate in decision-making and shaping the supports they receive.
If you believe you may be eligible for NDIS funding or want more information about accessing its supports and services, it is recommended to contact the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) or visit their official website for further guidance and assistance.
