Firstly, what is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) assists people with disability by making sure they get the right supports and services.

If you don’t know a lot about the NDIS check out our blog post about joining the scheme as a young person or watch our video below. It shows young people with disability talking about the NDIS.

Where can I get more information about NDIS?

We’ve created a list of some useful resources about NDIS.

The list includes websites with more information about:

  • National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS),
  • Resources for young people with disability (created by YDAS),
  • Advocacy organisations that can support you if you have a problem with NDIS,
  • The Local Area Coordination (LAC) partner for each NDIS region in Victoria. You can ask the LAC in your region for information about support services in your area, even if you are not a NDIS participant. 

Download the list here.

YDAS

The Youth Disability Advocacy Service (YDAS) is an advocacy organisation that works with disabled young people aged 12 to 25.

We work with disabled young people in Victoria to make sure you can speak up and are being treated fairly. You can access our free advocacy service if you need advice or support.

We run programs so that you can learn to speak up for yourself and others. We talk with disabled young people about what matters most to you. We then help the government and other organisations understand those issues so they can treat disabled young people fairly.

YDAS is a core agency of Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic). YDAS was established in 2006 and is funded by the Victorian Government.
