The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to provide funding and support for Australians living with disabilities, empowering them to lead more independent and fulfilling lives. Whether you are new to the NDIS or looking to better understand how it can benefit you, this guide breaks down how individuals can access and utilise NDIS funding effectively.
