The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports over 500,000 Australians with disability. While NDIS participants may share some common challenges, experiences and goals, each of their stories are unique. 

The Social Model of Inclusion that the NDIS operates under focuses on the person, not the disability – so who are the people receiving funding from the NDIS?

In Five Good Friends’ new module, NDIS Participants and Their Stories, we hear from real NDIS participants about their lives, goals, and how the NDIS supports them. This module features video interviews from the official NDIS Australia YouTube channel that give you insight into how you can support NDIS Members in living more enriched lives.

If you’d like to learn more about the NDIS, its origins and how Helpers can contribute, you can also check out more information from our NDIS Participants series [here.](https://fivegoodfriends.learnupon.com/users/sign_in)
