NDIS

An NDIS Plan allows a person to receive core, day-today living support for a range of activities so they can start or continue to participate in the community.

Participants may also be entitled to capital supports, which provide access to resources or equipment such as wheelchairs, assistive technology and home or car modifications. There will also be an option for capacity building supports that will help to develop life skills, educational opportunities or help to find employment.

The NDIS is designed to give Australians living with disability the reasonable and necessary supports they need in every day life.

Everybody’s needs and goals are different, but the overall aim of the NDIS is to help you:

• make your own choices
• have control
• be more independent
• be involved in your community
• in getting a job
• improve your well-being
