Working to deliver a better experience for participants, is best achieved by listening to people with lived experience of disability and their personal experience in dealing with the NDIS.
The Participant First initiative will bring together people who sign up to help improve the NDIS through engagement activities such as:
- * focus groups/interviews
- * co-design workshops on specific issues, processes, product surveys, discussion papers and submissions
- * taking part in research projects.
By joining Participant First, you can help the NDIS make sure the voices of people with disability are central to NDIS reforms.
Participant First will work to prioritise co-design, consultation and engagement activities on the following topics:
- * participant pathway experience
- * assessments and budgeting
- * navigator functions
- * participant services
- * psychosocial disability
- * home and living
- * integrity and fraud prevention
- * workforce capability and culture
- * participant safety
- * supporting children and young people in the NDIS.
