National Disability Insurance Scheme for schools
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides support for Australians with disabilities, their families and carers.
The NDIS supports people with disabilities to build skills and capability so they can participate in the community and gain employment.
It assists them to access services and support, which may include funding related to the disability, or issues deemed reasonable or necessary for a person to live an everyday life and achieve personal goals.
The NDIS information packages for NT Government schools below has the appropriate documentation needed by each stakeholder group.
