0411 578 578The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) offers incredible support for Australians with disabilities. But with so much information around, misconceptions can arise. Let’s debunk some common NDIS myths and empower you to get the most out of your plan.
Common NDIS Myths
Myth #1: My disability isn’t severe enough for NDIS.
The NDIS isn’t just for physical disabilities. It supports people with a wide range of permanent disabilities, including intellectual disabilities, mental health conditions, and sensory impairments. If your disability impacts your daily life, you may be eligible.
Myth #2: I have a job, so I can’t get NDIS funding.
Your employment status doesn’t affect your NDIS eligibility. The goal of NDIS is to help you achieve your goals and live independently, regardless of your work situation.
Myth #3: NDIS funding is limited and hard to get.
The NDIS focuses on providing individualised support based on your needs. There’s no set funding limit, and your plan will be tailored to your specific circumstances.
Myth #4: The NDIS dictates exactly how I spend my funding.
You have control over your NDIS funding! You can choose how you manage your plan and select registered providers who offer the support you need to achieve your goals.
Myth #5: NDIS only provides basic daily living assistance.
The NDIS can fund a wide range of supports, from personal care assistance and transport to skill development, assistive technology, and even support animals.
