Everything You Need to Know About NDIS
The NDIS has revolutionised the way support is provided to Australians with disabilities. If you or someone you know is a wheelchair user, understanding how to navigate the NDIS can be a game-changer for their quality of life. So, how can you make the most of NDIS? Read on to discover how!
What is NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme, better known as the NDIS, is a government initiative aimed at providing individualised support to Australians living with disabilities. The scheme offers tailored plans that include various types of support, from health services to equipment funding.
The goal is to empower individuals to live more independently and be active members of their communities. So, the NDIS is not solely about financial assistance - it aims to give people with disabilities the tools and support they need to achieve their personal and life goals!
