What is NDIS?

The Aim Of The NDIS

The aim of the NDIS is to support people with a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to take part in everyday activities.
It does this by identifying what disability supports someone needs in order to help achieve their goals in life. This might include greater independence, involvement in the community, education, employment and health and wellbeing.
The NDIS gives people with disability more choice and control over how, when and where their supports are provided, and gives certainty in receiving the support they need over their lifetime.
The NDIS also focuses on early intervention where getting early supports can reduce the impact of disability on you or your child.
People with a psychosocial disability are also able to access support through the NDIS. A psychosocial disability is one where people significant and permanent functional impairments related to mental health issues.
The NDIS is coming in progressively, people who are currently receiving support through the Commonwealth and State governments will be changing over to the NDIS at varying times. The timing will depend on the sort of support you are receiving and where you live.
