What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government initiative in Australia designed to support individuals with disabilities. It provides funding for necessary services and support, empowering participants to lead independent, fulfilling lives. The NDIS helps eligible Australians under 65 who have a permanent and significant disability by providing funding directly to them, which they can use to access a wide range of supports tailored to their unique needs.
Who is Eligible for the NDIS?
To be eligible for the NDIS, a person must:
- Have a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to take part in everyday activities.
- Be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa.
- Be under 65 years of age at the time of their application.
- Live in a region where the NDIS is available.
How Does the NDIS Work?
The NDIS allows participants to receive funding for services that help them achieve their goals. This may include:
- Accessing support for daily living (such as personal care and household tasks).
- Therapies and treatments designed to improve quality of life and independence.
- Employment support to help participants find and maintain a job.
- Assistance with community participation, transportation, and social activities.
Each participant works with a planner to develop an individualized plan based on their personal goals and needs. The NDIS plan outlines the support required, and funding is provided to help cover the costs.
What Types of Support are Available?
Participants can access a variety of services, including:
- Core Supports: Help with daily activities, household tasks, and social participation.
- Capacity Building Supports: These aim to improve skills and independence in areas such as education, employment, and relationships.
- Capital Supports: Funding for high-cost items like assistive technologies or home modifications.
