In 2013, the National Disability Insurance Scheme was founded to help those with living with a disability get the needed assistance, protect their human rights and offer them fair representation in their immediate environment.
The sole aim of the NDIS is to ensure that people living with a disability are able to achieve their daily goals and live a good normal life.
NDIS is an insurance program with a clear ideology on the need to improve on the socioeconomic system through adequate investment in people with disabilities. The scheme focuses on ensuring proper representation is established for people living with disability. Although, not means tested the program is being managed and funded by Australian citizens, it is potentially expected to have not less than 460,000 citizens with observable disabilities under the age of 65 come on 2020.
