About
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) allows Australians with a permanent and significant disability the freedom to choose the life they want to live. The scheme helps people with disability to access the supports that are right for them and assists in building their skills to actively participate in their community. Mission Australia's NDIS Local Area Coordination Service helps people with disability to understand and access the NDIS, and create, implement and review their NDIS support plan. At the same time, we also work with local people and groups to build communities that are more welcoming and inclusive so that everyone, regardless or their NDIS eligibility, can benefit.
