What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a scheme of the Australian Government that provides support and services to individuals with a permanent disability, who are under the age of 65.
It is a great advantage for people with disabilities and their families to increase the choice and control while
building independence and capacity of the people with disability towards their goals. The scheme gives an opportunity to choose and access the services which meet their needs and requirements.
