Providing quality disability care requires the services of competent support workers
who understand the needs of the participants and behave with integrity, honesty and compassion.
Active community participation helps people with disabilities to enhance their life
skills and boost their morale. Various activities and events meant for community participation
fosters social relationships and inclusiveness, and help with confidence-building.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an important government- funded scheme which reshaped the way we approach disability support and provided a new perspective regarding independent living and the personal autonomy of people with disabilities.
Disability support systems are designed to empower people with disabilities and equip
them with the skills and knowledge necessary for them to lead a life that they have always
envisioned for themselves.
People with disabilities experience social isolation and stigmatisation from society more than able individuals. They often shy away from participating in community activities because of various disability barriers. These barriers to accessibility prevent them from becoming active and contributing members of society.
One of the primary goals of the National Disability Insurance Scheme is the social integration of people with disabilities. Through funded supports and services, the NDIS fulfils the disability needs of the participants so that they can work towards their goals and become active members of society. Various capacity-building supports are in place to build the confidence of differently-abled individuals and their ability to take care of themselves without relying on others completely
