What is NDIS?Updated 6 months ago

The NDIS helps people achieve their goals, which often include independent living, community participation, employment, education, health and wellbeing among other goals. The NDIS strives to provide individualised services to all its participants, as it recognises that everyone’s needs and goals are different. It also ensures the provision of flexibility for individuals to manage their plans and supports so they can reach their goals and dreams. The NDIS aims to provide consistency and certainty for people with disabilities, their loved ones and all those involved in their care.

The NDIS was created to replace a previous system which was ineffective, inefficient and unfair. This new national insurance scheme is aimed to be sustainable and equitable, and best of all the NDIS is a world-leading system. The goal is to provide Australian families and carers with certainty and consistency in care and allow all Australian families to have peace of mind that if their loved ones are born with or acquire a disability, that they will receive the support they need, when they need it.
