National Disability Insurance Scheme

The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a commonwealth government initiative designed to provide individualised support for eligible people with permanent and significant disability, including psychosocial disabilities associated with a mental illness, their families and their carers.

The NDIS aims to:

• Look at a person’s needs across their lifetime, giving participants the things they need early to improve their outcomes later in life
