NDIS Explained
The ultimate concept of the NDIS is a beautiful one as it allows those that acquire a disability to become driver’s in their own lives. The NDIS has been set up by the Federal Government to provide support for people with a significant or permanent disability.
The purpose of Coordination and Care is that we are able to create an environment that builds resilience and confidence within our participants so they can achieve their optimum level of independence. To access the NDIS, participants are assessed alongside a range of measures with a focus on providing supports that allow them to achieve their personal goals.
The NDIS provides a benefit for non-compensable clients with formed acquired brain injuries, neurological conditions, early onset neurodegenerative disorders, and so on. There are around 4.3 million Australian’s who have a disability. Those that have a disability are able to access services and interventions that have had previously eluded them without independent funding.
What does NDIS mean?
The NDIS stands for,
- National: Accessible all-around Australia
- Disability: The NDIS provides assistance to those that are eligible for support. There is also support available for early intervention that is eligible for those people with a disability or children with developmental delay’s
- Insurance: The NDIS allows all Australians to be comforted with the thought that if either themselves, a loved one or even a child is born with or acquired a permanent disability, they will have access to help and support that matches with their everyday life
- Scheme: The NDIS is designed to create help and support to enhance the capabilities of those that have a disability affecting their everyday life. This means it is not a welfare system.
