About NDIS
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a nationally implemented program of the Australian Government that provides reasonable and necessary supports to individuals with a permanent and significant disability.
There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide $22 billion in funding a year to an estimated 500,000 Australians aged under 65, who have permanent and significant disability. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
The NDIS can provide all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
