Welcome to have your say. This is where you can let us know what you think about the NDIS.
We know many of you have already shared your experiences and ideas with other reviews. We want you to know that we are starting our work by looking at all those past reviews. This way you don’t have to repeat what you have already said. We want to know what you think about how the NDIS is working now.
You can tell us as little or as much as you like and you can tell us in the way that best suits you. Some of the ways are:
- write us a note
- make a video
- send us a recording
- answer some questions.
There are more details about how you can do that below.
Before you get started, it would be helpful to read our paper, called Our Approach. We hope it will help you think about what you want to say. There is also a summary version and an Easy Read version (PDF 1 MB).
How to have your say
Online
Anyone can share their experiences online by either:
- answering some simple questions
- uploading a written, audio or video submission.
Please upload your file(s) by using the 'Choose files' button within the submission form. You can upload up to 5 files with a combined file size of 100 MB. If you would like help to upload your files, please contact us as early as possible so we can discuss secure ways for you to share them with us.
You can have your say at any time during this review.
But at the moment we are planning our work for next year. So we would like to hear from you as soon as possible. We want to know what is most important to you. Anything you can tell us to help us plan our work for next year would be useful. It doesn’t have to be long.
We know that this is a busy time of year, and if you have time we would like to hear from you by the end of the year. Please contact us if you need more time.
Please remember that this is only the first chance to have your say – there will be lots more chances next year.
Guidance in providing a written, video or audio submission
If you would like to provide a written, video or audio submission, we have put together some questions to guide you. These are focussed on your three main problems or concerns with the NDIS. We know you may have many more but this way the review can start with focusing on what is most important to you.
- What are your three main problems or concerns with the NDIS?
- How do these three main problems affect you and/or others?
- What do you think are possible solutions to those problems?
- What parts of the NDIS are working well for you?
