What makes support for people with disability different?

Supporting people with disability is about helping them to achieve their goals, develop their capabilities and build independence, and fully participate in the community.

Support for people with disability is often funded through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which has some requirements for workers, such as worker screening and adherence to a Code of Conduct.
