NDIS funding, sustainability, equity, access

enough for current and future genrations

Answer 1

By creating individualised plans which includes funding to suit the individuals specific needs. As a result, more people can access the NDIS and experience decreased levels of morbidity.

Question 2

funding
what it pays for (not how its funded)

Answer 2

The NDIS can provide funding for a range of resources that promote health status, such as assistive technology. This means more people with disabilities can stay socially connected, improving social health and wellbeing.

Question 3

equity
how disadvantaged groups get more support

Answer 3

Those who require the NDIS do not have to pay more towards funding than those who don’t. This means they still get the support they need such as increasing access to recreational facilities promoting a sense of belonging, improving spiritual health and wellbeing.

Question 4

access
in terms of geographic and $$

Answer 4

The NDIS is available all over Australia, improving access for those living outside major cities. This improves health outcomes by allowing people to lead ordinary lives, such as working, which can promote self-esteem and a sense of belonging
