The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government initiative that provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disability, and their parents and carers.
Who are the NDIA?
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is the Australian government agency responsible for implementing and managing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The NDIA is responsible for assessing the eligibility of individuals for the NDIS, developing individualized support plans, and coordinating funding for disability-related services and supports. Its main goal is to empower people with disabilities to exercise choice and control over the services they receive, enhancing their independence, social participation, and overall well-being.
The agency (as it's commonly known) works closely with participants, service providers, and the community to ensure the delivery of high-quality and person-centered supports. It also plays a role in promoting awareness and understanding of disability issues and advocating for the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of society:
