Understanding the NDIS

Your guide to the National Disability Insurance Scheme

What is NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australian Government initiative that provides funding for Australians with a significant and permanent disability. It supports people under the age of 65 to access the reasonable and necessary supports they need to live an ordinary life.

The NDIS provides individualised funding packages that give participants choice and control over the supports they receive. As a registered NDIS provider, Blooms Total Care is here to help you navigate the scheme and make the most of your plan.
