National Disability Insurance Scheme

The Walking Clinic is the only podiatry clinic in Canberra accredited with the NDIS. This means we are the only podiatry clinic in the ACT able to provide foot and lower limb care to all NDIS participants, whether self-funded, plan managed, or portal processed.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government program designed to provide support and services to people with permanent and significant disabilities, their families, and carers. Established under the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013, it is a transformative policy aimed at ensuring individuals with disabilities can access the necessary resources to live independently and participate fully in society.

Key Features of the NDIS

Funding and Management

The NDIS is jointly funded by the Australian federal and state/territory governments. It is administered by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), which ensures the scheme’s smooth operation and equitable access for eligible participants.

Broader Impact

The NDIS has shifted Australia’s approach to disability to one focused on individual empowerment and choice. It also supports carers and families, helping them balance caregiving responsibilities with other aspects of life.

For more information or to determine eligibility, individuals can visit the NDIS website.
Our team of podiatrists are experts in lower limb management and available to support all NDIS participants achieve the goals, through tailored lower limb management.
