NDIS is making a real difference in the lives of Australians. With the individualized packaged funding, people with disability are gaining independence, finding work, studying and having greater choice and control over how they want to live their life. The NDIS now supports more than half a million adults and children with disability. Many of these people are receiving support for the first time.
It emerged after years of discussions about problems with the existing disability support arrangements, the need for reform, and proposals for new models of disability support. It was introduced across Australia in July 2016, except in Western Australia.
It is jointly governed and funded by the Australian, and participating state and territory governments. The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life. It also connects anyone with disability to services in their community.
HCCS is passionate about supporting those with disabilities and connecting them with community and government outreach and assistance.
