Learn more about the NDIS
The NDIS is a new way of providing individualised support for eligible people with permanent and significant disability, their families and carers.
The NDIS website, http://www.ndis.gov.au/ holds a wealth of information to help you understand the concept, benefits, and processes involved, but it can be complex to navigate through the many pages of the site.
To help, we have done some of the hard-work for you. Find below a list of pages that will get you on the right track to understanding the NDIS and how it can help you.
