NDIS Information

Understanding the NDIS and how we can help

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to Australians living with disability. We're here to help you understand your plan and make the most of your supports.

What is the NDIS?

Australia's national disability support scheme

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that provides funding and support to people living with a permanent and significant disability. The NDIS gives participants choice and control over the supports they receive, helping them to live more independently and participate in their community.
