Introduction
The National Disability Insurance Scheme, commonly known as the NDIS, is run by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). The NDIS supports eligible Australians with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive, and psychosocial disabilities who were either born or acquired a permanent and significant disability.
The NDIS program helps members to form valuable social connections, develop skills and independence, provide work opportunities, and facilitate recreation and creative expression. These programs are designed to help members to get the required support and improve their skills and independence with time. The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary supports and services that relate to a person's disability to help them achieve their goal.
The eligible members have client goals with predefined goal strategies that are achieved with the support of NDIS. The goals are included in the NDIS plan and are timely reviewed.
