The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a transformative approach to supporting Australians with disabilities. Launched in 2013, the NDIS aims to provide long-term support to those with significant and permanent disabilities, empowering them to live more independently and participate fully in society. It offers funding for a range of services tailored to the unique needs of each participant, focusing on improving their quality of life and helping them achieve their personal and professional goals.
Each NDIS participant receives a unique support plan that is customized to their specific needs and goals. This means that the services and supports provided are directly aligned with what matters most to them.
The NDIS provides flexible funding, allowing participants to choose how, when, and where they receive their supports. This flexibility ensures that participants can adapt their plans as their needs and circumstances change over time.
The first step is determining if you meet the eligibility criteria for the NDIS. This involves an assessment of your disability and how it impacts your daily life.
Once eligible, you’ll work with a planner to develop your NDIS plan. This plan outlines your goals and the supports you’ll need to achieve them.
Based on your plan, the NDIS allocates funding for the services and supports you require. This funding is managed by you, a plan manager, or the NDIA (National Disability Insurance Agency), depending on your preference.
With your plan in place, you can choose from a wide range of registered service providers to deliver the supports outlined in your plan. You have the flexibility to change providers if your needs or preferences change over time.
Your NDIS plan is reviewed annually or when your circumstances change, ensuring it continues to meet your needs effectively.
