What is the NDIS?

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a government-run scheme designed to help people with disability by providing funding directly to the eligible individual for ‘reasonable and necessary’ support and services such as mobility equipment, workplace assistance and therapeutic support networks.

Client Feedback

“When a family member made a resolve to apply to the Administrative Review Tribunal to appeal an inadequately funded NDIS decision, we knew that obtaining professional legal advice would be an important and very necessary step. We were most fortunate to be able to appoint Burke Lawyers to advise and guide us throughout the whole appeal process. Their advice was invaluable and we could not have managed without it. Their communication was always regularly received and easy to understand from a lay perspective. The advice was delivered with a knowledge and understanding of the complexities felt by a family as they continued through the various stages of the appeal process. The supportive and responsive advice which we received was always of the highest standard and we have no hesitation in providing a recommendation for the team at Burke Lawyers.”
