The NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme is Australia’s first National Scheme for people with disabilities.

The NDIS Practice Standards create an important benchmark for providers to assess their performance, and to demonstrate how they provide high quality and safe supports and services to NDIS participants.

The NDIS Practice Standards consist of a core module and several supplementary modules that apply according to the types of supports and services NDIS providers deliver.

If you’re eligible for the NDIS support as an NDIS participant, you will receive funding to work towards the goals in your NDIS plan.
