What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia?
- A private insurance scheme for workplace injuries
- A charity supporting people with disabilities
- A government scheme providing funding and support to Australians with permanent and significant disabilities
- A healthcare program for elderly Australians
Why this is the correct answer
Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme provides government funding directly to Australians who have permanent and significant disabilities, allowing them to purchase the supports and services they need to live more independently. It replaced a fragmented system of state-based disability services with a single national scheme focused on individual choice and control.
