If you have a disability, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) can help you plan for your future with NDIS occupational therapy Adelaide. It's an insurance scheme to help people with disabilities, or long-term conditions get the support they need to enjoy life.

Self-care, including washing, dressing and eating

The NDIS is a new system that helps people with disability to access support and services. It aims to provide better outcomes for people with disabilities, their families and carers by supporting them to be more independent.

The goals of the NDIS are:

• Increased independence
• Improved quality of life for participants
• Better support networks for participants, such as family members and friends

Mobility and transportation

The NDIS can cover many things, including mobility and transportation.

Mobility refers to the ability to move through your environment. It is a combination of strength, balance and coordination.

Transportation is the ability to get from one place to another without assistance. This may include being driven by family members or friends, having a car that you can drive yourself or using public transport such as buses and trains.

Education, employment or work participation

The NDIS is a new way for people with disability to access support and services. It is designed to support Australians with a disability to achieve their goals and live the life they choose.

The NDIS covers:

• education, employment or work participation
• personal support services (e.g., help with daily living skills, communication, health care)

Education, employment or work participation may include:

• getting an education (formal or informal) such as school, TAFE or university;
• finding a job;
• starting your own business; or
• participating in volunteer activities such as community services organisations.

The NDIS is a valuable program for people with disabilities, but it's not perfect. It can be difficult to navigate and understand how much money you are entitled to receive from the scheme.
