National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)?
Support Budgets
The NDIS provides funding to participants to purchase a range of supports aimed at increasing their independence, inclusion, and social and economic participation. This funding model is designed to be flexible and to allow service innovation. Importantly, the supports delivered will be chosen and paid for by individual participants from their approved NDIS plan. In the NDIS, supports for participants fall into three Support Purpose categories: core, capital, and capacity building. On the table below, we show the purpose categories and the services that Carespace provides.
