The role of families and carers is often essential in supporting people with disability to realise their goals, so it is important to include them in discussions about supports.

The NDIS is Australia’s first national Scheme for people with disability. It moves away from the previous system of providing block funding to agencies and community organisations, to directly funding individuals. We’re testing a new computer system and some improvements to the way we deliver the NDIS in Tasmania from 14 November 2022. This test is for Tasmania only and not everyone will be involved. Learn more about the Tasmania test.

The NDIS is available across Australia. Find out about the NDIS in your state or territory.

People who meet the NDIS access requirements are called participants. Participants receive funded supports and an individual plan.
