What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides Australians aged under 65, who have a permanent and significant disability, with funding for supports and services in their communities, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
NDIS – What does it mean?
National: The NDIS is being introduced progressively across all states and territories.
Disability: The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.
Insurance: The NDIS gives all Australians peace of mind. If they, their child or loved one is born with or acquires a permanent and significant disability, they will get the support they need.
Scheme: The NDIS is not a welfare system. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.
NDIS key words
Permanent and significant disability: A permanent disability means your disability is likely to be lifelong. A significant disability has a substantial impact on your ability to complete everyday activities.
Supports and services: Assistance or products that help a person in their daily life and help them participate in the community and reach their goals.
Early intervention: Providing support to a person, either a child or an adult, as early as possible to reduce the impacts of disability or developmental delay and to build their skills and independence.
Goal of the program
The goal of NDIS is to:
- Support the independence, and social and economic participation of people with disability;
- Enable people with disability to exercise choice and control over the services they access to reach their goals;
- Provide reasonable and necessary support to people with disability.
Who is eligible for the NDIS?
The NDIS is available for people who meet the following requirements:
- Are under 65 years of age;
- Are an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or a Protected Special Category Visa holder;
- Have a permanent and significant disability;
- Require support for everyday functioning.
