The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is an Australian government initiative that provides funding to individuals with disabilities, helping them achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. The NDIS offers financial support for healthcare, education, employment, and social participation, including participation in sports.

The NDIS can help fund your participation in athletics by covering costs such as:
- Specialised equipment (e.g., adaptive running blades).
- Support services (e.g., coaching, personal training, sports therapy).
- Travel and accommodation for sporting events.
