NDIS HOUSING

NDIS housing is funded by the federal government and state and territory governments. The program provides affordable housing for people with disabilities. The Australian Government will contribute $53 billion towards the total cost of NDIS housing, and states and territories will contribute an additional $32 billion. Individuals who are eligible for the program can choose their service providers, including private companies, medical insurance agencies, and state and territory governments. Applicants must meet certain design standards to be eligible for NDIS funding. For example, NDIS participants must live in a dwelling that is at least 15% accessible, or 15% of the total number of people with disability who are able to live on a parcel of land.

The funding for the NDIS comes from a variety of sources, and the Australian government has issued a long-term commitment to the program’s success. The Australian Government and participating state and territory governments have made intergovernmental agreements to fund the program. The funding is not guaranteed and fluctuates, however. The funding for the NDIS will increase or decrease over time.
