There are many disability and lifestyle supports available to help you live life your way, and it’s good to know that federal and state government funding may be available to help you pay for them. We have put together this guide to the main disability support funding options, how they work, and how to access them.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest change in recent years to the way funding and support is delivered to people with a disability.
