NDIS
NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME

What is the NDIS?

There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. When it is fully rolled out, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide about 460,000 Australians aged under 65, who have permanent and significant disability with funding for supports and services. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.

​

The NDIS can provide all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors, health professionals such as exercise physiologists, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries, schools, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.

​
