What is the NDIS?
About 4.3 million Australians live with disabilities. Over the next five years, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plans to allocate over $22 billion annually, aiding an estimated 500,000 Australian people with permanent and significant disabilities. This scheme marks a crucial milestone for many, offering essential disability support for the first time, profoundly impacting their lives.
