What is the NDIS?
is likely that many of you have heard of the term “NDIS” or its proper name, the National Disability Insurance Scheme. From the title, it is presumed that it has something to do with the Government and disabilities, but you may not know specifically what it is, or how it may be relevant to you and your driving situation.
The NDIS was introduced by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), which is an independent statutory agency. Therefore, the NDIA’s role is to “implement the NDIS in order to support a better life for hundreds of thousands of Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and their families and carers” (NDIA, 2017).

In other words, the NDIS is a nationwide, government-funded scheme to ensure that all Australians with a disability, whether they currently have, or will acquire in the future, continue to receive appropriate and sufficient support.

Due to the large scale and many changes introduced by the NDIA when creating the NDIS, the scheme will be gradually introduced to ensure a smooth transition for people with disabilities and support providers.

How does the NDIS work?
If you or a family member have a disability and think you might be eligible to receive support from the NDIS, you must first contact NDIS. When you contact NDIS you will need to confirm eligibility and organise what services you require and what funding will be needed to cover these services. Once you have established your NDIS account, you will set up a plan that essentially states the services that you need (e.g. occupational therapy assessments and driving lessons) and how much funding you will require (keep reading to find out how to do this with Williams OT).
Once this is all worked out and approved by the NDIS, you are able to choose one of three options when managing your plan.

You can either:
1) self-manage
2) have an agency manage your plan
3) have a third party manage your plan

How you choose to manage your NDIS plan influences how you approach and book assessments with Williams Occupational Therapy. Further information on this, as well as assessment and travel costs, can be provided by our helpful staff, or on the NDIS website.
