The NDIS is an insurance scheme funded by both the federal and state governments to ensure that people with a disability receive support to be part of the social and economic life of our community.

The NDIS is there to support you in achieving your goals. The scheme represents a significant social change, giving you greater choice and control over the things that affect your life.

St Michael’s provides NDIS services, advice and support to people with intellectual and/or physical disabilities and your family members.
