What is NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s first national scheme for people with disability, providing funding to eligible individuals to help them achieve their goals and participate more fully in their community. It focuses on providing support and services tailored to individual needs, promoting choice and control, and enhancing independence and quality of life. 

The NDIS is designed for Australians under 65 with a permanent and significant disability (or under 50 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people). 

Disability 17 (1)

The NDIS model allocates funding to an individual, with the individual, their guardian or a private “plan manager” purchasing goods and services from suppliers. The scheme is entirely publicly funded and not means-tested, with recipients not purchasing or contributing to the scheme directly.  The NDIS is independent of the Disability Support Pension and any state and territory disability programs, although NDIS navigation services may help individuals access these supports.

DIS 26

The NDIS also exclusively funds disability supports, not healthcare-associated costs; these remain publicly funded under Medicare and state and territory government health services.

To be eligible for the NDIS you must:

  • be an Australian citizen or hold a Permanent or a Special Category visa
  • be aged between 7 and 65
  • have a permanent and significant disability.

Key Aspects of the NDIS

Funding for Individuals:
The NDIS provides funding directly to eligible participants, enabling them to choose and purchase the supports and services that best meet their needs.

Individualized Plans:
Participants work with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to develop personalized plans outlining their goals and the supports needed to achieve them.

Choice And Control:
The NDIS empowers individuals to have greater control over their lives by allowing them to choose their service providers, manage their budgets, and make decisions about their supports.

Focus On Early Intervention:
The NDIS emphasizes early intervention, aiming to reduce the impact of disability on individuals and their families, particularly children.

Community Inclusion:
The NDIS supports individuals in accessing community activities, employment, education, and other opportunities, fostering social inclusion and participation.

Governance and Administration:
The NDIS is governed by the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (NDIS Act) and administered by The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

Eligibility:
To be eligible for the NDIS, individuals must be under 65 years of age, have a permanent and significant disability, and meet specific criteria.
