NDIS FAQ's and Info

Information to help understand the NDIS and its role in Plan Management

What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a significant social reform initiative in Australia designed to provide support and assistance to individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. It aims to empower people with disabilities by providing them with funding for necessary supports and services tailored to their individual needs. The NDIS operates on a person-centered approach, focusing on enhancing independence, inclusion, and participation in the community. It provides financial assistance for various services, including specific health care, education, employment support, social participation, and daily living assistance. The scheme is funded by the Australian government and administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA).

What is a NDIS Plan?

An NDIS plan is a comprehensive document outlining the supports, services, and funding allocated to an individual with a disability under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It is developed through a collaborative process between the participant, their family or carers, and a planner from the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). The plan details the participant's goals, needs, and aspirations, as well as the funding they are entitled to receive to access various supports and services. NDIS plans are personalized to each individual's circumstances and are reviewed periodically to ensure they continue to meet the participant's evolving needs and goals.

What is NDIS Plan Management?

NDIS plan management involves the effective administration and oversight of funding allocated to individuals under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia. It encompasses tasks such as budgeting, expenditure tracking, payment processing for service providers, and maintaining accurate records. Participants can choose how they want their funds managed, whether through self-management, agency management, or a plan management professional. The primary goal of NDIS plan management is to ensure that the allocated funding is utilized efficiently to meet the participant's specific needs and goals, thereby promoting their independence and well-being.
