Supported decision-making is when someone supports you to make decisions about your life.

The NDIA created a new policy for supported decision-making.

A policy is a set of rules or ideas that tell people how they should do things. 

The NDIA said they are going to teach their staff about the new policy.

The NDIA also said they are putting together a new group to:

• support the policy
• give them advice about the policy.

The new group will meet for the first time in early 2025.

Reference Group members said they want to stay up to date with how the new policy is going.

The NDIA also shared its work with disability organisation, Inclusion Australia.

The NDIA and Inclusion Australia are working together on a website to share information and tools.

Members said they are excited about the new website.
