National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

Cumberland City Council is an NDIS Service Provider and requires NDIS registration before you can access many of its disability services.

The NDIS can bring opportunities

The NDIS was introduced to provide reasonable and necessary support to many people with permanent and significant disability.

It allows people with disability to achieve greater independence, community involvement, education, employment, and better health and wellbeing opportunities. It also provides additional support and certainty for carers and families.

The NDIS can connect you to doctors, supports clubs, support groups, libraries, schools and support from the state government.

Find out more about what the NDIS offers. Or download the Easy to read, Understanding the NDIS book.
