National Disability Insurance Scheme

​

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports NDIS participants under 65 years with a disability to live in the community and use care and services that suit you.

​

From 1 July, under the new Aged Care Act, if you are under 65 years, you can access Australian Government-funded aged care services if you have care needs and are either: 

• an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person aged 50 years or over

• homeless or at risk of homelessness and aged 50 years or over

• already living in an aged care home or accessing aged care services.

 

It offers funding for various types of assistance, including personal care, therapy, and equipment, tailored to individual needs.
