NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)
What is NDIS ?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was established in 2016 by the Australian Government to provide support services to people with disability, their families, carers and the disability sector in Australia. The NDIS was established under the NDIS Act 2013 along with the passing of the NDIS legislation in March 2013.
NDIS – What does it mean?
