The National Disability Insurance Scheme(NDIS)
NDIS is a new model of funding for disability services in Australia and is designed to give people with disability (Participants) choice and control over their disability supports and services. The NDIS provides Funding only. It does not provide direct services. A person’s NDIS funding is detailed in their NDIS plan. The NDIS plan also includes information about the support and services the NDIS covers. Each participant chooses the service providers to provide the support listed in their NDIS plan. Participants can log in the NDIS secure website, the My Place Portal, to see their plan and how much NDIS funding they have at any given time. The NDIS provides participants with information about how to do this once plan is approved.
