NDIS

What is NDIS ?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government-funded initiative introduced in 2013 aimed at aiding individuals with disabilities. Its primary objective is to offer personalized funding and assistance to enable participants to accomplish their objectives and enhance their overall well-being.

A diverse range of services, including assistive technology, personal care, and community participation support, are available through the NDIS. Participants work closely with a planner to develop a tailored plan outlining their goals and the necessary support to achieve them. Regular evaluations are conducted to ensure the plan remains relevant and achievable.

The NDIS has brought about significant transformations in the disability services sector, empowering countless Australians with disabilities to access vital support and services. It stands as a remarkable milestone in our ongoing efforts to foster a more equitable and inclusive society.

Types of Funding at NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia offers financial support for diverse services catering to individuals with disabilities. The scheme has identified three funding categories, also referred to as support budgets. These categories encompass Core Support, Capacity Building Support, and Capital Support.

Core Support involves aiding participants in their everyday tasks and activities. This might encompass personal care, assistance with household chores, mobility aid, and communication support.

Capacity Building Supports aim to empower participants by enhancing their skills and confidence to engage in daily activities and attain their objectives. This could include support for learning new skills, improving communication and social interactions, and fostering greater independence.

Capital Supports entail funding for items such as assistive technology and home modifications. These resources are intended to help participants reach their goals by enhancing their physical environment and access to assistive technology.
