What is the NDIS?
The NDIS provides services and support to people with disability.
​
NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
​
National means all around Australia.
​
Disability can affect:
-
a person's senses - such as their sight or hearing
-
a person's ability to move or use their body
-
the way a person thinks, learns or understands
-
the way a person feels, or their mental health.
​
Insurance is a service you pay for to protect yourself against problems in the future. For example, if you get a disability in the future, the insurance pays for the cost of your supports and services.
​
Scheme is a type of government program.
