NDIS

DanceWA provides classes for students with special abilities/disabilities.

The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) in Australia is a way of providing support for Australians with a disability, their families and carers.

As an insurance scheme, the NDIS takes a lifetime approach, investing in people with disability early to improve their outcomes later in life. The NDIS gives all Australians peace of mind that if their child or loved one is born with or acquires a permanent and significant disability they will get the support they need.

The NDIS supports people with disability to build skills and capability so they can participate in the community.

There are three different types of plans that are available to families;

Self-Managed Plan

Participants have the option of registered and non-registered providers.

The participant gathers the invoice from the provider and pays directly.

Plan Managed

Participants have the option of using both registered and non-registered providers.

Plan and finance is managed by a representative of their choosing from an organisation.

Agency Managed Plan

Participants can only use NDIS registered providers.
