The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide support and services to individuals with disabilities. It aims to help people achieve their goals and improve their quality of life by offering funding for necessary services, such as therapy, equipment, and personal care. The NDIS is available to eligible Australians under the age of 65 who have a permanent and significant disability. Participants work with planners to create a personalized plan that outlines their needs and the supports they require, ensuring they receive the assistance necessary to live more independently and participate in their communities.
