The NDIS is a government initiative in Australia designed to provide support and services to people with disabilities, enabling them to live more independently and participate fully in their communities.
To be eligible for NDIS support, you must be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or hold a Protected Special Category Visa, be under 65 years of age, and have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to take part in everyday activities.
You can apply for the NDIS by contacting the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) directly. They will guide you through the application process, which includes providing information about your disability and how it impacts your daily life.
The NDIS provides a wide range of supports, including personal care, transportation, therapeutic support, home modifications, assistive technology, and employment services, all tailored to the participant's individual needs.
