What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) AND Why do we need IT ?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) represents a transformative approach in offering funding for support to individuals across Australia living with permanent and significant disabilities.

At Seed Disability Services, we extend disability care support to individuals who meet the eligibility criteria set by the NDIS. Our assistance is based on individualised plans, taking into account your specific support needs, aspirations, and objectives. Collaborating closely with you, we tailor a plan that aligns precisely with your unique goals and aspirations.

The NDIS fundamentally aims to empower individuals by fostering skill development and enhancing capabilities, enabling active participation in community engagement and employment. It stands as a commendable government initiative providing funding directly to individuals with disabilities, allowing them the flexibility to select the services they require, fostering progress toward their goals, and offering solutions to overcome disabilities within the community.
