What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme or NDIS is a way for people with a disability under the age of 65 to get the care and supports they need. The NDIS is for people with a permanent and significant lifelong disability which impacts on their ability to take part in everyday activities.

Before the NDIS was introduced, the funding you received depended on how, when and where you acquired your disability, as well as where you lived. Some people got enough funding, some people got none.

The Federal Government agreed that people with a disability deserved a fairer system and more choice and control that is why in July 2013, the NDIS was introduced. The rollout across Australia was completed in mid-2020.

The NDIS provides funding for lots of different things. You will choose when and where you receive these supports.
