The NDIS

The NDIS provides funding to eligible Australians with permanent and significant disability to help them have:

  • more time with family and friends
  • greater independence
  • access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community
  • an improved quality of life.

The NDIS also connects anyone with disability to services in their community such as:

  • doctors
  • community groups
  • sporting clubs
  • support groups
  • libraries and schools.

The NDIS also provides information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
