Home and living support that are tailored to meet the needs of people with disabilities are important in improving their overall quality of life and accessibility to various support
and services.
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
Disability support under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was conceived with the vision of providing differently-abled individuals with an ordinary life and access to mainstream society. The goal is to make them self-reliant and independent over time with necessary support and care.
