The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was founded by the Australian government in July 2016 under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013. It aims to provide support to people with disabilities, their families and carers in Australia.
The NDIS is being introduced progressively across all states and territories.
The NDIS provides support to eligible people with intellectual, physical, sensory, cognitive and psychosocial disabilities. Early intervention supports can also be provided for eligible people with disabilities or children with developmental delays.
The NDIS gives all Australians peace of mind if they, their child, or loved one is born with or acquires a permanent and significant disability, they will get the support they need.
The NDIS is not a welfare system. The NDIS is designed to help people get the support they need so their skills and independence improve over time.
The Objectives of NDIS outlined in the NDIS Act include:
It covers the following: learning about the NDIS, deciding whether to apply for the NDIS and accessing the NDIS.
It covers the following: understanding your current supports, creating an NDIS plan to achieve your goals and receiving an approved NDIS plan.
It covers the following: Understanding what’s in your plan, learning how to use your plan, choosing and managing supports and services and reviewing your plan and progress

The NDIA sets price limits for some supports to ensure they provide value for money for participants. Changes to prices are updated to respond to market trends and changes in costs and are generally identified through an Annual Price Review.
