Registration of NDIS participants who self-direct their supports – Summer Foundation submission

Tags: ,


Description:

The Summer Foundation welcomes the opportunity to make this submission to inform the approach to registration of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants who self-direct their NDIS-funded supports. The Summer Foundation’s position is that the considered design of the system of proportionate regulation – including this component (people who self-direct their supports) – is key to ensuring that the NDIS can achieve its original intent of supporting the independence and social and economic participation of people with disability.

The registration for NDIS participants who self-direct their supports must:

● Have a focus on participant outcomes and achieving the overall intent of the NDIS, with particular reference to enabling people with disability to exercise choice and control in the pursuit of their goals and the planning and delivery of their supports

● Maintain and encourage flexibility and innovation in how NDIS participants can engage their supports

● Balance dignity of risk and strengthen safeguards where required
