The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that provides funding to eligible people with a permanent and significant disability. It gives participants choice and control over the supports they receive to help them achieve their goals and live more independently.

To be eligible for the NDIS you must be under 65 years of age, be an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or Protected Special Category Visa holder, and have a permanent and significant disability that affects your ability to take part in everyday activities.
