NDIS module one-Introduction to the National Disability Insurance Scheme

This module is one of three in our NDIS eLearning series.

Welcome to NDIS module one-Introduction to the National Disability Insurance Scheme. This module provides an introduction to the NDIS, how the scheme works and how it differs from other health supports.

Two further modules will follow and provide additional detail about working with people with disability and a more detailed look at osteopathic disability practice.

Each of the three modules are intended to provide information that will help you to understand how the scheme works, navigate the rules and regulations that apply to disability practice and practise clinically with a functional and participatory focus.
