What is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a transformative Australian government initiative designed to support individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. It provides funding for services and supports tailored to help participants achieve their goals, enhance independence, and improve their quality of life. From personal care and therapy to transportation and home modifications, the NDIS empowers individuals to access the resources they need to live fulfilling lives.
