The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides essential supports that ensure safety, independence and inclusion for people with disability.
People with disability must be at the centre of the NDIS. We advocate for a fair NDIS where the needs of people with Down syndrome and people with intellectual disability caused by chromosomal variations are met and represented.
Find out more about the Down Syndrome Australia Consortium’s NDIS work. We advocate on behalf of the community of people with Down syndrome, their families, and supporters.
Changes to the NDIS
Webinar for our community
You might have heard that the NDIS Bill is now law or that the NDIS is changing. What does this mean for you or your family member?
In this webinar, we talk about:
- Some of the biggest changes to the NDIS
- When they will happen
- Where you can go for support and more information
This webinar was run by the Down Syndrome Australia Consortium for members of our community. We represent people with intellectual disability caused by chromosomal variation, including people with high and complex support needs. We talk about how the changes may impact our broader community.
This webinar is for any person with disability, their family, carers or support person.
