The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide support and services to individuals with disabilities. It aims to enhance 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. Through the NDIS, participants can create personalized plans that outline their specific needs and goals. This flexibility allows individuals to choose the services and supports that best suit their circumstances, promoting independence and community participation. The scheme is managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).
