What is NDIS?
The NDIS helps people with disability to:
- Access mainstream services and supports – like the health system and education systems
- Access community services and supports – like sports clubs, community groups and charities
- Maintain informal supports – like the help people get from their family and friends. This is support people don’t pay for and is generally part of most people’s lives
- Get reasonable and necessary funded supports – related to their disability and needed for them to live an ordinary life
The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and improved quality of life.
The NDIS now supports over 500,000 Australians with a disability to access the services and supports they need.
