National Disability Insurance Scheme - (NDIS)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a proposed Commonwealth Government support scheme for people with a disability their families and carers. In 2009 the Australian Government announced that the Productivity Commission would conduct an inquiry into the long term care and support of Australians with a disability.

After further examination the Productivity Commission will present a final report to the Australian Government on the 31st July 2011 with their recommendations regarding a long-term disability care and support scheme. It is expected then to be tabled in Parliament in September of 2011.

All Australians would benefit from this scheme because disability can affect anyone, anytime. Everyone will benefit from building a more inclusive, more diverse community.
