In our Participant Service Improvement Plan, we've set out what we're going to do over the next
two years to deliver a better NDIS.
As a part of these changes, we're looking at how we can
provide the tools and information that participants and their support network may need to have
more control over decisions that affect them.
This decision-making process may be different for each participant. An NDIS participant can
choose to make their own decision or work with a collection of people and resources to help
them make decisions about their day-to-day life and NDIS plan.
This support network could be their family and friends, paid support workers, unpaid community
groups or NDIS planners and resources such as checklists.
We want your feedback on how we can; support participants to get the information they need to
make important decisions, increase a participant's choice and control over their NDIS plan, work
better with the people who support participants, explore other supports for decision-making
before appointing a nominee, make sure that participants are supported to make decisions
when they need to and encourage others to support participants to be more in control of
decisions that affect their lives.
You can find out more in our support for decision-making consultation paper available on our
website.
If you are an NDIS participant, a family member or carer of an NDIS participant, an NDIS
provider such as a support coordinator or a person that helps someone to make decisions, we
want to know what you think about the support for decision-making process and how it could be
done better.
You can have your say in a number of ways.
