NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) - CatholicCare NT

The NDIS looks to improve the lives of people living with a disability. NDIS Helps those with a disability (participants) to have choice and control with the services and supports they need and reasonably desire. Once access is granted by the NDIS, a plan is developed containing funds for services and support related to their goals in life. This funding allows participants to have greater independence, access more places, including getting a job and facilities and lead a good quality of life.
