We want to work out how to make the NDIS better for:

  • participants – people who take part in the NDIS
  • their families and carers.

This includes how the NDIS helps them:

A woman pointing towards her goal

  • reach their goals

A group pf people walking together.

  • take part in the community.

We also want to work out how the NDIS can:

  • support the community better
  • help make communities stronger.

This includes how the NDIS can support other government services, like health care and housing.
