What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to Australians living with a significant and permanent disability, along with their families and carers.
Its goal is simple: to help people access the supports they need to live an ordinary, fulfilling, and independent life.
When fully implemented, the NDIS will support hundreds of thousands of Australians under the age of 65 who require ongoing assistance.
How does it work?
The NDIS focuses on choice, control, and flexibility.
Participants work with the NDIA (the government agency that administers the scheme) to create a personalised support plan tailored to their needs, goals, and daily challenges.
Under the NDIS, participants can decide:
What supports they receive
When the supports are delivered
Who delivers those supports
How they want their goals to be achieved
At I Am Institute, our support team walks alongside individuals and their families, helping them:
understand their NDIS plan
identify their personal goals
choose the best support options
build the skills they need to live confidently and independently
We focus on helping each person get the most from their funding so they can enjoy a safe, meaningful, and connected life.

You may be eligible for NDIS funding if:
you are under 65 years of age
