The National Disability Insurance Scheme (also called the NDIS) is the new way of providing support to Australians with disability, and their families and carers.

​

The NDIS helps people with disability to:

• access mainstream services and supports – like the health system and education systems

• access community services and supports – like sports clubs, community groups and charities

• maintain informal supports – like the help people get from their family and friends. This is support people don’t pay for and is generally part of most people’s lives

• get reasonable and necessary funded supports – related to their disability and needed for them to live an ordinary life

​

At Gippsland Dietetics, we can help your client to improve quality of life by educating them about healthy eating and some ideas on achieving a better diet to meet their NDIS goals.
