About Foundational Supports
Foundational Supports are specific supports that would be outside the NDIS to help people with disability, and their families and carers.
Australian and state and territory governments are working together to build a more inclusive Australia for the 5.5 million people with disability. This includes working on the design of additional supports for people with disability, their families and carers.
There are different types of Foundational Supports. At the beginning, we will focus on some of these supports, including:
- General supports which include information and guidance, peer supports, and capacity building. These will help people with disability, and their families, live a better life.
- Targeted Supports for people that have additional support needs but don’t need to access the NDIS to have those needs met.
