NDIS
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme, also known as the NDIS, is run by the National Disability Insurance Agency, also know as the ADIA.
The NDIS is for eligible Australians who were either born with or acquire a permanent and significant disability. A ‘permanent disability’ means a person’s disability is likely to be lifelong.
A ‘significant disability’ means a disability with a large impact on a person’s ability to complete everyday activities.
The NDIS funds reasonable and necessary supports and services that relate to a person’s disability to help them achieve their goals. ‘reasonable’ means the support that is most appropriately funded or provided through the NDIS and ‘necessary’ means something a person needs that is related to their disability.
NDIS Pricing Limits
NDIS participants will be able to pay for disability-related health supports through their plan budget. This means they can choose how their supports are provided.
The NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits is a key reference to help participants, providers, plan managers and support coordinators discuss and prepare to include disability-related health supports in eligible NDIS plans.
The additional disability-related health supports pricing structure and support levels are included in the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits.
