NDIS Review Submission - Part 2
Part 2 of our submission to the NDIS Review Panel represents the voices of CLA-supported NDIS participants with intellectual/cognitive disabilities, along with their family and informal supporters. Initiated in March 2023, this review enabled CLA members and supporters to express their NDIS experiences through the NDIS Review Project. Our project worker conducted confidential, in-depth interviews with 26 individuals, both face-to-face and remotely, ensuring their informed consent to share their views with the NDIS Review.
