Concerning the NDIS
NDIS: What is it?
National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) makes it possible for people to get the assistance they require if they have a major and permanent disability.
It will give an estimated 500,000 Australians under 65 years of age $22 billion in funding annually to use these services over the course of the next five years.
Funding is provided by NDIS to qualified individuals in accordance with their unique needs.
Each NDIS participant has a personal plan that outlines their objectives and the financial support they have been granted. Participants in the NDIS use their funding to buy services and supports that will enable them to reach their objectives.
Although each person has different aspirations, some common ones might be obtaining and maintaining employment, forming friendships, or taking part in neighborhood events. Participants in the NDIS are in charge of the support they get, when they get it, and from whom.
Who is qualified?
You may qualify for the NDIS if you are under 65 (or you look after a child), an Australian citizen, a holder of a permanent or special category visa, and you have a major and ongoing disability.
Go to the NDIS website for more details on eligibility.
How to get started
You can “make an access request” by calling 1800 800 110 to get in touch with the NDIS if you’re eligible and would like to apply for the program.
When the NDIS is made available in your area, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) will get in touch with you if you are currently receiving disability support services.
Categories of disabilities
A broad range of conditions or impairments that affect a person’s capacity to participate in or carry out daily activities or interactions are collectively referred to as disabilities.
Disabilities can be caused by a wide range of factors, such as diseases or injuries, genetic disorders, difficulties during pregnancy or childbirth, and more.
The different types of disabilities can be roughly divided into four groups, each of which has an example below.
Physical disabilities include amputation, acquired brain injury, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, motor neurone disease, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s disease, polio, respiratory disorders, and spina bifida. These conditions cause a long-term or permanent loss of a portion of your body’s physical function.
- Intellectual disabilities are long-term or permanent reductions in one’s capacity for thought, learning, or communication that cause difficulties in day-to-day interactions and activities.
- Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), down syndrome, autism, and developmental delay.
- Long-term or permanent difficulties using common senses such as sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste, and special awareness are referred to as sensory disabilities.
- Autism, visual and auditory impairments, sensory modulation disorder, sensory-based motor disorder, sensory discrimination disorder, and sensory processing disorder.
- Mental health disabilities: A person’s mental health is a state of wellbeing in which they are able to reach their full potential, manage everyday stressors, work effectively, and give back to their community.
- Depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
