About NDIS
What is the NDIS?
There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. Within the next five years, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide $22 billion in funding a year to an estimated 500,000 Australians aged under 65, who have permanent and significant disability. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
The NDIS can provide all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
What does it mean?
01
National
The NDIS is being introduced progressively across all states and territories.
02
Disability
The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disability or children with developmental delay.
03
Insurance
The NDIS gives all Australians peace of mind if they, their child or loved one is born with or acquires a permanent and significant disability, they will get the support they need.
04
Scheme
The NDIS is not a welfare system. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.
Understanding Your Funding
Core Supports: Everyday activities, transport, consumables, and assistance to live more independently.
Capacity Building: Building skills and independence—this is where Support Coordination and Recovery Coaching usually sit.
Capital Supports: Assistive technology, home or vehicle modifications, and some specialised equipment.
Managing Your Plan
Self-managed: You choose and pay providers directly, then claim from the NDIS.
Plan-managed: A Plan Manager pays providers for you (more flexibility with provider choice).
NDIA-managed: Providers claim directly from the portal (must be registered for NDIA-managed budgets).
