About NDIS
NDIS
NDIS stands for the National Disability Insurance Scheme and is a new approach to service delivery and funding for people with a disability.
The NDIS puts people with disability at the centre of the system for the first time – allowing them to determine their own future and receive funding which matches their needs and aspirations.
Funded Supports
Supports the NDIS pay for a participant’s plan. These supports must be reasonable and necessary.
Informal Supports
The supports participants get from the people around them, for example family, friends, neighbours.
Registered Provider
A disability support provider that has met the NDIS requirements for qualifications, approvals, experience, capacity and quality standards to provide a product or service.
Supports
Things to help a person undertake daily life activities and enable them to participate in the community and reach their goals.
Planners
Once you have received confirmation that you qualify for the NDIS, your planner is the first person you should speak to on your NDIS journey. Your planner is there to help you access the system, so give them as much information as possible about your situation and your goals.
Reasonable and necessary supports
Anything which is related to your disability is a reasonable and necessary support under the NDIS. This can include not just the basics like mobility equipment and therapeutic support, but support with transport, doing daily tasks, home modification, education, social participation and more. If you’re not sure what is “necessary and reasonable”, contact us for support and guidance. The general rule is that it must be related to your disability, and it can’t replicate things that your family or community already assist you with.
