Clear and simple information about the NDIS, your rights, and how to access support - designed to be easy to understand.

Understanding the NDIS

We believe information should be accessible to everyone. Here are some simple explanations of key NDIS concepts.

💡

What is the NDIS?

The NDIS provides funding and support to Australians under 65 who have a permanent and significant disability. It helps you get the support you need to live your life.

⚖️

Understanding Your Rights

You have the right to choose your providers, to say no, and to make complaints without fear. Your rights are protected by the NDIS Code of Conduct.

🤔

How to Choose a Provider

Choose providers that understand your needs and culture, and make you feel safe. If something is not working, you can always change providers.

📢

How to Make a Complaint

If you are unhappy with a service, you can complain without being punished. Complain directly to us, or to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.

🧠

What is Behaviour Support?

This service helps understand why certain behaviours happen and provides safer, more helpful support strategies. It is focused on understanding, not punishing.

🗂️

What is Support Coordination?

A Support Coordinator helps you understand your plan, connect with services, and make the most of your NDIS funding to achieve your goals.
