The National Disability Insurance Scheme is coming to Northern Adelaide
Text only version
What is the National Disability Insurance Scheme?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a new way of delivering services and support for people with permanent disability in Australia. With the NDIS, people with disability can choose supports and services to meet their individual needs, rather than have to fit into a one-size-fits-all system.
When will the NDIS begin?
The NDIS will begin to roll out for people aged 18 to 64 in Northern Adelaide from 1July 2017.
If you are already receiving disability services you will continue with your existing supports until you transition to the NDIS.
The Northern Adelaide region consists of the following local council areas:
- City of Playford,
- City of Salisbury,
- City of Port Adelaide Enfield – East.
If you would like to check if you are in the Northern Adelaide region go to the NDIS South Australia website.
Where can I find more information about the NDIS in Northern Adelaide?
