NDIS Participant booklets

There are three participant booklets available to support individuals with disabilities and participants throughout their journey with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). These booklets serve as a valuable resource for individuals with disabilities, participants, their families, carers, and the wider community, helping them to better understand the process of applying for the NDIS, preparing for planning conversations, and effectively using their NDIS plan.

 

The booklets are designed to be used throughout an individual’s journey with the NDIS and can be used to record important information, formulate questions, and organize thoughts. They are a practical and useful tool for anyone navigating the NDIS.
