Understanding the NDIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme, NDIS, provides funding to eligible people with a ‘permanent and significant’ disability to get the support they need to gain more time with family and friends, experience greater levels of independence, access new skills and jobs, and improve their quality of life.

It does this by providing individualised funding for reasonable and necessary supports that are related to a person’s disability.

Castle has been an NDIS registered service provider since its trial in Newcastle in 2013.
