ABOUT NDIS (NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME)
The NDIS is designed to empower people with disability to work towards their goals, to identify the disability related support they need to meet their goals, and to choose where they would like to buy their supports.
Depending on your goals, NDIS funding in your plan may include the following:
- Core funding – funding that covers functional support needs for daily living and participation and to access community supports and activities.
- Capital funding – funding that covers the purchase of one-off items such as equipment, technology or modifications. It also includes funding for Specialist Disability Accommodation.
- Capacity funding – funding that supports skill building, training, learning, capacity building, accessing employment, improving health and wellbeing and support coordination.
