National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)
The NDIS is a government initiative in Australia that provides support and services to people with significant and permanent disabilities. The primary goal of the NDIS is to assist individuals with disabilities in achieving their goals, enhancing their independence, and participating fully in community life.
The NDIS is a significant reform in Australia's disability support system, aiming to provide a more individualised and person-centred approach to disability services and support.
