The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was established in 2013 with the aim of assisting persons with permanent and substantial disabilities in obtaining government financing for reasonable and required assistance and services to live and enjoy their lives. It is Australia's first national disability scheme. Disability supports and services are assistance or goods that help a person with a disability do everyday tasks, participate in social and community activities, satisfy their requirements, and achieve their objectives. The NDIS also provides people with disabilities, regardless of their eligibility for funding, with support and services in their communities.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is designed with the aim of helping people with permanent and significant disabilities access government funding for reasonable and necessary supports and services they need to live and enjoy their life. It is Australia’s first national scheme for people with disability.
‘Reasonable’ means something that is fair and ‘Necessary’ refers to something that a person requires. Funding ‘Reasonable’ and ‘Necessary’ supports and services means that assistance is being provided to participants to help them reach their goals and meet their needs.
Carers are people that provide assistance to people that have a disability, mental illness, or other permanent injury.
People with disability who apply and meet the eligibility criteria for access to NDIS funding are referred to as participants.
Support if available to help meet a person’s reasonable and necessary requirements. However, it must be related to the person’s disability and have a positive effect on their life.
Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) refers to specialised housing that is designed for participants with ‘extreme functional impairment’ or ‘very high support needs’. SDA homes are more accessible and enable better and safer support delivery. Click here to learn more about the SDA eligibility and application process. Supported Independent Living (SIL) is personal support with daily tasks to assist participants to live as independent as possible, while building skills and capacity. SIL supports may include assistance with personal care tasks, meal preparation and cooking, behaviour support and social skill development, medication administration, support for medical appointments, community access that is not regular or routine, and support to get to and from community access activities.
NDIS participants are responsible to meet their day-to-day living costs, including rent, groceries, utilities, vehicle costs, telephone, or internet costs. It is the responsibility of the participant to also cover general household items such as a bed, fridge or cooking utensils.In limited circumstances, the NDIS may contribute to these costs. This is in circumstances where the participant only incurs the cost due to their disability or their costs are considerably higher due to their disability. For instance, a participant with mobility restrictions requiring a modified bed or electric recliner bed to avoid bed sores.
