NDIS, also known as the National Disability Insurance Scheme, is a government scheme that solely focuses on people with disability.
The NDIS scheme aims to provide the financial support needed for people with permanent or significant disabilities, in order for them to develop new skills and achieve their desired goals and objectives.
The first step to getting the most out of this scheme depends on the plan which you and your LAC (Local Area Coordinators) or ECEI (Early Childhood Early Intervention) coordinators agreed upon.
The NDIS allocates funds in 3 categories: Core, Capital and Capacity building.
A good plan starts with understanding the 3C’s of NDIS and identifying where your current needs fall.
