Understanding the NDIS might seem complex, but there’s no need to be intimidated! Allow us to assist you in unraveling its intricacies and discovering what it’s all about.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is an independent statutory agency. Their role is to implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Their aim is to support a better life for Australians living with a significant and permanent disability and their families and carers. The NDIS means peace of mind for every Australian – whether you are living with a disability or you become disabled later in life.
NDIS’ priority is to ensure that those with a disability continue to get the support they need. The changes needed to existing disability support systems are significant. Arrangements are being made to ensure the scheme be introduced gradually. Thus ensuring a smooth transition for people with a disability and support providers.

We foster their existing skills, facilitate learning of new ones, and create opportunities for them to contribute to their communities. We employ the key worker model to tailor services to individual needs and aspirations, empowering our service users to exercise their human right to pursue meaningful goals and make core decisions that matter to them.
There are around 4.3 million Australians who have a disability. When it is fully rolled out, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide about 460,000 Australians aged under 65, who have permanent and significant disability with funding for supports and services. For many people, it will be the first time they receive the disability support they need.
The NDIS can provide all people with disability with information and connections to services in their communities such as doctors, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries and schools, as well as information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
The NDIS began in some trial sites around Australia in July 2013. From 1 July 2016, it was introduced over three years in stages around Australia to ensure its success and sustainability. For NSW, click the link below.
