NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME (NDIS)
What is the NDIS?
Launched in July 2016, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of providing support for people with disabilities. Implemented by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), the scheme has meant big changes for people with a disability, their families and carers.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is for Australians aged under 65 who have permanent and significant disability.
The NDIS takes a lifetime approach, investing in people with disability early to improve their outcomes later in life. The NDIS is a new way of doing things that gives participants the ability to choose and control the supports they use to get involved in their community, workplace and social life. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.
What is the difference between the way funds are managed?
There are three options to manage your NDIS funding – self-managed, plan-managed and NDIA-managed.
Self-management – The NDIA provides you with funding so you can access the supports that will best help you achieve your goals. Find out more about self-management.
Plan-managed funding – The NDIA will provide funding in your plan to pay for a Plan Manager who manages your provides for you, helps you keep track of funds and takes care of financial reporting for you. Find out more about plan-managed funding.
Agency-managed funding – The NDIA pays your providers on your behalf. Find out more about NDIA-managed funding (agency-managed).
