The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides supports and services to people with disability.

The NDIS supports people with disability to work towards their goals.

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.
