A key feature of the NDIS is that it will work with you to identify the supports you require to achieve your goals. These factors may include independence, involvement in your community, education, employment, as well as health and well-being.
This program gives you greater control over how and when you receive your supports and ensures that you receive the support you need throughout your lifetime.
Furthermore, it emphasizes early intervention, which can reduce the impact of disability for you and your child if you receive early support.

Market and workforce development for the NDIS
A major social reform in Australian history is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). By creating new business and employment opportunities, NDIS is giving disabled people choice and control.
To support businesses and workers, the Government acknowledges that the disability support sector is experiencing rapid reforms. This strategy sets out the key priorities of the Commonwealth Government to ensure the efficient and effective development of the NDIS market and workforce.
Four priorities are outlined in the Strategy. Priorities 1 and 2 are aimed at supporting NDIS providers, while priorities 3 and 4 concern growing and nurturing a skilled workforce.
