About the NDIS

Supporting independence, connection, and a better quality of life for people with disability.

What the NDIS Offers

The NDIS provides funding for eligible people with disability to enjoy more meaningful time with family and friends, build independence, and engage in work, education, or volunteering opportunities within their communities.

These supports aim to improve overall quality of life and empower participants to achieve their personal goals.

Community Connections

Beyond funding, the NDIS helps connect people with disability to local services such as doctors, schools, libraries, sports clubs, and community groups.

It also provides information about available support from each state and territory government.

NDIS Impact

More than 500,000 Australians currently benefit from the NDIS, including around 80,000 children with developmental delay.

By providing early support, the NDIS helps ensure children have the best possible start and achieve their full potential throughout life.
