National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian Government scheme designed to support people with a significant or permanent disability.

BrightSky Australia has been a registered provider for NDIS participants since 2013, since the NDIS trial in the Newcastle-Hunter region. For the past ten years, BrightSky has remained closely involved with the NDIS and has supported tens of thousands of participants.

BrightSky Australia is a Registered NDIS Provider that supplies specialised healthcare products to participants in all Australian states and territories. BrightSky Australia is also a preferred provider on the NDIS Continence Provider List.
