National Disability Insurance Scheme - NDIS
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support for eligible people under 65 with permanent and significant disability.
The NDIS has been designed to give people with disability choice and control over choosing the services that work best for them to provide the support they need.
For information about how the NDIS works, and who is eligible, visit the NDIS website.
