Understanding the NDIS

Everything you need to know about the National Disability Insurance Scheme and how it can help you.

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that provides funding to eligible people with a permanent and significant disability. It's designed to help individuals live more independently, achieve their goals, and participate fully in the community.

Unlike older disability funding models, the NDIS is participant-controlled — meaning you decide what supports you need, which providers you use, and how your funding is managed. It's about giving people real choice and real control.

The NDIS is administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and is available across all states and territories in Australia.
