The NDIS is a government initiative in Australia providing support and funding to
individuals with permanent and significant disabilities. It works by offering
individualised plans with funding to help participants achieve their goals and improve
their well-being.

NDIS providers can offer a wide range of services, including but not limited to
personal care, accommodation, therapy, assistive technology, and community
participation support. The services should align with the goals outlined in the
participant NDIS plan.

NDIS funding is provided to participants based on their individual needs and goals.
The funding is allocated in a personalised plan, and participants can use it to access
approved services and supports from registered NDIS providers.

NDIS providers play a crucial role in the planning process by working collaboratively
with participants to identify their goals and needs. Providers help participants
understand their options, select suitable services, and develop plans to achieve their
objectives.

Services and plans are generally reviewed annually or more frequently if there are
significant changes in the participants circumstances. Regular reviews ensure that
services continue to meet the participants evolving needs and goals.

NDIS providers are responsible for delivering high-quality, safe, and respectful
services that align with the NDIS Practice Standards. This includes ensuring
participant rights, maintaining transparency, and engaging in ongoing professional
development.

The NDIS emphasizes cultural diversity and inclusion. Providers are encouraged to
deliver culturally competent services, respecting the diverse backgrounds and needs
of participants. Culturally sensitive practices and language support are essential
elements.
