Firstly, what is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) assists people with disability by making sure they get the right supports and services.
If you don’t know a lot about the NDIS check out our blog post about joining the NDIS as a young person or watch our video below. It features young people with disability talking about the NDIS.

When you join the NDIS you get a plan. Your NDIS plan is about you and your needs. It lists the disability supports you get through the NDIS and the amount of money you can use to pay for them. There are 4 ways to manage your plan and money.
We’ve created a series of resources to help you understand the different ways that you can manage your plan. Download our resources below.
