Your Path to Supported Independence

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is Australia’s national program designed to provide support to individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. It offers funding to help you achieve your goals, whether they’re related to daily living, employment, education, or community participation.

  • Access necessary supports to achieve their goals.
  • Participate in the community, education, and employment.
  • Develop skills to increase independence and social participation.
