NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)is an Australian Government program that provides funding for support to help people with disabilities build independence and achieve their goals. It provides personalised plans for services such as personal care, community access, Allied Health, and Assistive Technology, promoting choice, control, and participant-centred practices.
