The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was introduced by the Australian Government to support eligible Australians living with a permanent or significant disability. The NDIS is managed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). The NDIS is a transformational approach to disability supports and services across Australia. It's the largest social reform since Medicare. At its core the scheme shifts the government funding of disability supports away from support providers directly to participants with disability support needs, encouraging a competitive marketplace for providers to compete and thereby improving the quality and range of offers to the benefit of participants.

NDIS supports participants in various ways, including helping them to:

1) build their skills to improve their ability to perform everyday tasks;

2) purchase NDIS consumable products such as incontinence pads from certain companies like ConfidenceClub; and

3) provide access to in-home care services or re-join the workforce.
