what does ndis stand for

NDIS stands for National Disability Insurance Scheme. It is an Australian government initiative designed to provide funding and support to people with permanent and significant disabilities to help them live more independently and participate more fully in daily life. The scheme gives participants choice and control over the supports they receive, with individual plans tailored to their goals and needs. The NDIS is managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), which administers the funding and ensures access to necessary therapies, equipment, and services.
