How the NDIS Works
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to eligible Australians with disability to access supports that help them achieve their goals.
A simple way to think about the NDIS
At its core, the NDIS is designed to fund reasonable and necessary supports that help eligible people with disability live more independently and work toward their goals.
Once a plan is in place, the practical next step is understanding what supports fit your daily life, how they relate to your goals, and which provider feels like the right fit.
