"The NDIS provides funding to eligible people
with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and
an improved quality of life. The NDIS also
connects anyone with disability to services in their community. This includes connections to doctors, community groups, sporting clubs, support
groups, libraries and schools, as well as providing information about what support is provided
by each state and territory government."
