The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative designed to provide support and services for individuals with disabilities. Launched in 2013, the NDIS aims to enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities by funding various services, including:
- Personalized Support: Tailored plans that address the unique needs of each participant.
- Access to Services: Funding for essential services such as therapy, assistive technology, and personal care.
- Community Participation: Encouragement and support for individuals to engage in community activities and enhance their social inclusion.
- Skill Development: Programs to help participants develop skills for greater independence and employment opportunities.
The NDIS operates on a person-centered approach, allowing individuals to have more control over their care and support, ensuring that it aligns with their goals and aspirations.
