What Is The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a significant social reform in Australia that aims to provide support and services to individuals with disabilities. It is designed to empower people with disabilities by giving them greater control and choice over their own lives. The NDIS provides funding for a wide range of services and supports, including healthcare, therapy, assistive technology, and personal care. By focusing on individual needs and goals, the NDIS seeks to enhance the quality of life and improve the outcomes for people with disabilities, enabling them to participate fully in society and achieve their aspirations.
