What is the NDIS?

The NDIS offers funding to eligible individuals with disabilities by enabling access to new opportunities such as skill development, employment, or volunteering, and an overall improved quality of life.

The NDIS facilitates connections to a wide range of community services, including healthcare professionals, community groups, sports clubs, support networks, educational institutions and libraries, as well as providing information about what support is available by each state and territory government.

Are you eligible for ndis?

Reasonable and Necessary supports

The NDIS funds a range of supports and services which may include assistance in personal care, community services, employment, living arrangements and health and wellbeing.

In order to be considered reasonable and necessary, a support or service must be related to your disability, must not include day to day living costs not related to your disability support needs, should represent value for money and cannot replicate support that your family or community may already assist you with.
