Championing Rights and Simplifying NDIS Access
Advocacy at JaeMan Support
Disability Advocacy involves speaking or writing to uphold and safeguard the human rights of people living with disability or mental illness. We strive to support these individuals, offering assistance and services that empower them to exercise their choice and control, and have their voices heard regarding matters impacting their lives.
What is the NDIS?
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.
The NDIS also connects anyone with disability to services in their community. This includes connections to doctors, community groups, sporting clubs, support groups, libraries, and schools, as well as providing information about what support is provided by each state and territory government.
