Update on the Home and Living Framework

A framework booklet with a home and living supports icon on it.

The NDIA gave an update on their Home and Living Framework.

In this document we call it the framework.

The framework is about supporting participants:

  • in their home
  • to live how they want.

The NDIA said the framework will support ideas about how to improve home and living supports.

This includes ideas that came from the NDIS Review.

The Australian Government checked the NDIS to find out what:

  • worked well
  • could be better.

They call it the NDIS Review.

This also includes ideas that came from the Disability Royal Commission.

The Disability Royal Commission looked into problems that people with disability experienced.

It helped the Australian Government find out:

  • what went wrong
  • what we need to improve.

The framework will also support changes the Australian Government has made to laws about home and living.

The NDIA said they have used what Reference Group members said to help make the framework.

This has helped them make sure the NDIS is the best it can be.

Members said the NDIA doesn’t always follow its rules about group homes.

They said many participants still get put into group homes when they don’t want to.

The NDIA said:

  • there are some problems to solve
