National Disability Insurance Scheme - Everything You Need to Know

An estimated 4.2 million Australians have a disability (including permanent and significant disabilities). The National Disability Insurance Scheme aims at providing adequate support, information and networks through which a person with a disability can get support, care and make progress to become more independent themselves. The NDIS is for people with a disability under the age of 65 years. 

​

People with a disability eligible for NDIS support services and funds are known as participants. The NDIS plans are personalised and exclusive to meet your needs and help you lead an ordinary life. The plan could be coming from agencies or through family, friends or any form of community services. The NDIS may provide adequate funds to ensure that a participant is able to achieve their goals and plans hassle-free.  All About You (in association/ partnership with Helping Hand 4U Pty Ltd (ABN: 94 640 943 031) works closely with your NDIS plans and goals to provide adequate support and assistance to you!

Frequently Used NDIS Terms:

• Early intervention: Providing a child or an adult adequate support and assistance at the earliest possibility to reduce effects of the disability or any developmental issues

• Permanent and significant disability: When a person’s disability can be lifelong and has the potential to improve with adequate support and assistance

• Supports and services: Any type of products or assistance that can be helpful to a person in leading an ordinary life & achieve their goals and plans
   

Note: People with a disability meeting the access criteria will be eligible to become NDIS participants and will receive a personal plan. NDIS though may provide information, linkages and connect you with communities that can assist.
