What Is the NDIS and How Can It Help You?

Updated: Jun 9


If you or a loved one is living with a disability in Australia, you've likely heard about the NDIS—but what does it actually mean? And how can it make a real difference in your life?


At 5 Roses Health, we understand that navigating government systems can feel confusing. So we’ve broken it down for you in simple terms.


What is the NDIS?


The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a government-funded program designed to support Australians living with permanent and significant disabilities. It gives eligible individuals access to funding for services and supports that improve quality of life, build independence, and help them reach personal goals.


The scheme is built around you—your goals, your needs, your pace.



What Kind of Help Does the NDIS Provide?


NDIS funding is flexible and covers a wide range of supports, including:


  • 🧼 Daily living support (e.g. personal care, meal preparation)

  • 🚗 Transport assistance to get to appointments or social outings

  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Community participation and social connection

  • 🩺 Health-related supports, like wound care and medication help

  • 🧹 Help around the home, including cleaning or household tasks

  • 📘 Skill-building and therapy, such as budgeting or communication support


These supports can be delivered in your own home, in the community, or through specialised services—whatever best suits your lifestyle.



Who Is Eligible?


To access the NDIS, you must:

  • Be under 65 years old

  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident

  • Have a permanent and significant disability

  • Need support with daily activities



How Can the NDIS Improve Your Life?


NDIS isn't just about services—it’s about empowerment. It gives you the resources to:


  • Live more independently

  • Build life skills

  • Stay socially connected

  • Access safe and consistent care

  • Set and achieve personal goals


At 5 Roses Health, we help you use your plan effectively by offering tailored in-home support that fits seamlessly into your life.



Final Thoughts

If you're eligible for the NDIS, you have the right to support that helps you live your life, your way. And if you're just getting started, know that you're not alone—we're here to walk beside you every step of the way.
