In connection with the review being undertaken into the NDIS, I have attached an overview of our experience as a Registered NDIS provider in supporting 2 participants with high and complex needs, who are under the authority of the Public Guardian Tasmania. I have put forward some suggestions to improve 'supported decision-making' for these most vulnerable participants, who have no 'voice' or 'choice and control' of their own in the NDIS system (impersonal guardian representation). I believe the NDIS Commission could play a greater role in giving them a voice and protecting their rights. The attached document explains our experience, suggestions and our desire for decision-making round NDIS supports to be a more 'inclusive' experience, for all involved in the care of such vulnerable participants and to achieve the best outcomes for the participants themselves.
