The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-funded program designed to provide support to individuals with disabilities and their families. Its goal is to help participants achieve their aspirations and increase their independence, social and economic participation.
To be eligible for NDIS funding, the applicant must meet certain criteria, such as being between 7-64 years of age, living in Australia with Australian residency, and having a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to participate in everyday activities. The disability must also be likely to be with the applicant for life.
When accessing NDIS support or services, it is important to keep in mind that they must be related to the participant’s disability and not cover day-to-day living costs unrelated to their support needs. The support and services must also offer good value for money and be effective for the participant.
Note: It is important to check with the NDIS for the latest and most accurate information on eligibility criteria and guidelines for accessing support and services.
The type of support that is funded through NDIS includes: daily personal activities, transport, workplace help, therapeutic supports, help with household tasks, help with equipment assessment and set up, home modification design and construction, and mobility equipment and vehicle modifications.
These supports aim to help participants pursue their goals, increase their independence, increase their participation in the community, and develop their capacity to actively participate in the community. The NDIS funds help participants achieve their aspirations and lead a fulfilling life, with a focus on improving their daily activities and promoting social and economic participation.
