Q: What is NDIS?

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australian government program that supports people with permanent and significant disabilities. It provides funding for services like assistive technology, therapy, home modifications, and support to help participants achieve their goals, increase independence, and improve their quality of life. The NDIS is tailored to each person’s needs, giving them choice and control over their supports. It’s available to Australian residents under 65 whose disability affects their ability to do daily activities, helping them throughout different stages of life.

Q: What are the types of funding under the NDIS?

Core Supports : This covers daily living expenses, such as personal care, transport, and assistance with household tasks. Capacity Building Supports : This helps participants build skills to increase independence, including training, therapy, and support for employment or education. Capital Supports : This is for higher-cost items, like assistive technology (e.g., wheelchairs, hearing aids) or home modifications.

Landscaping or garden redesign projects
Planting new gardens or decorative features
Non-essential garden enhancements, such as installing flower beds
