The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

Understanding NDIS and Positive Behaviour Support

What Is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government initiative that provides funding to eligible people with disability to access the support they need to live more independently and achieve their goals. The NDIS supports people with permanent and significant disabilities across all stages of life.

NDIS participants receive an individualised plan based on their unique goals and needs, and funding is provided to help access services and supports that build skills, confidence, and quality of life.

Who Can Access the NDIS?

To be eligible for the NDIS, you must:

  • Be under the age of 65

  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident

  • Have a permanent and significant disability that impacts your daily life

  • Require support now to improve future outcomes

You can check your eligibility and apply directly through the NDIS website or by calling the NDIS on 1800 800 110.

How to Access Positive Behaviour Support Through the NDIS

Check your plan to see if it includes funding under the Improved Relationships support category.

Support Coordinator
