About the NDIS

The NDIS provides funding and support to participants under the age of 65 living with a permanent and significant disability, and their families and carers. The purpose is to provide Participants with a means of accessing the supports needed to maximise function and independence both socially, physically and economically. The NDIS allows its Participants to have Choice and Control over their supports. Currently in Australia it is estimated 4.3 million people are living with disability.

The NDIS is a means of providing people with disability support to achieve their goals. It aims to empower Participants to live the life they want to live.

Participants can use the NDIS to access the supports and services required to optimise their function. At CDS we are able to provide these services through:

Participants receive tailored NDIS Plans based on their needs allowing for reasonable and necessary supports to be provided. CDS staff work closely with their participants and are able to help provide recommendations and reports to the NDIS to maximise required funding for services. NDIS plans are split into three ‘support budgets’ to help ensure the correct services are being provided to the Participant.
