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.

Reference Group members shared what they liked about the framework.

Members explained that the framework should support the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

The CRPD is an agreement between countries.

It explains how everyone should treat people with disability fairly.

Members also explained that to do this the NDIA should look at information about the NDIS.

They should make sure this information supports the same things.

For example, the NDIA should look into:

• the home and living supports the NDIS gives funding to

• the law that explains how the NDIS should work

• the ideas 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.

Members shared that a lot has changed since the NDIA last heard from the community about what they want for the framework.

For example, the cost of housing.

Members also shared that the NDIA should talk with the community more about this.

The NDIA were happy to listen to members’ ideas about how to check in with the community better.
