What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a ground breaking initiative by the Australian government to provide support and services to individuals with disabilities. It aims to empower people with disabilities to live fulfilling lives by giving them choice and control over their support services.
Benefits of the NDIS
Choice and Control: The NDIS puts individuals at the center of their own care, allowing them to choose the services and providers that best meet their unique needs and preferences. It empowers individuals to make decisions about their own lives, enhancing their independence and autonomy.
Tailored Support: With the NDIS, support is personalized and tailored to the specific goals and aspirations of each individual. It recognizes that every person is unique and has different requirements. The scheme ensures that services are designed to address these specific needs, promoting individual growth and development.
Lifetime Approach: The NDIS takes a lifetime approach to disability support, providing assistance at various stages of life. It supports individuals from early childhood through to adulthood and beyond, adapting to changing needs and circumstances. This long-term commitment ensures ongoing support and a continuous improvement in the quality of life for participants.
