Replacing the current disability support system in New South Wales, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will provide individually funded packages of support for eligible people with disability, as well as information, linkages and capacity building (ILC) support to people with disability, their carers, and the community.

The NDIS supports people with a permanent and significant disability that affects their ability to take part in everyday activities. This support may help you achieve goals in many aspects of your life, including independence, involvement in your community, education, employment and health and wellbeing. The NDIS gives you more choice and control over how, when and where your supports are provided.

NDIS and new technology

With the onset of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), disability services organisations and care providers have a wide range of new challenges, especially in terms of receiving payment under the new service delivery model. The new model requires disability service provider organisations to have a record of service date, service type and other details as well.

NDIS and ShiftCare

This makes it imperative for organizations in the healthcare industry to be ready with a technology platform and ensure smooth integration with NDIS.
