Help To Navigate The Support Services Multicultural & Indigenous Australians With Disability Needs.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (also called the NDIS) is the new innovative approach to provide support to Australians with disabilities and their loved ones.
Australians under the age of 65 who have a permanent and significant disability will be provided with the support they need by the NDIS. They will be provided with greater flexibility and choice of support and services to meet their individual needs.
The NDIS is a development from an inflexible approach to a more flexible system where people with disability have direct control over the funding they receive.
The NDIS helps people with disability to:
Access mainstream services and supports – like the health system and education systems.
Access community services and supports – like sports clubs, community groups and charities.
Maintain informal supports – like the help people get from their family and friends. This is support people don’t pay for and is generally part of most people’s lives
Get reasonable and necessary funded supports – related to their disability and needed for them to live an ordinary life
