The NDIA gave an update about their co‑design work.

Co-design is when people work together to plan something new.

This includes the NDIA’s work on the 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 that they will share the framework after they read what the Australian Government has to say about:

• the DRC

• the NDIS Review.

The NDIA will also keep telling Reference Group members about co-design work they can do.

Members explained that the NDIA should:

• keep looking for changes to home and living that they can start right away

• use research from other work and IAC advice.

Members shared that home and living funding should support participants:

• the way they need
• to have choice and control.

Members also shared that the NDIA should look at research that shows group homes don’t support:

• choice and control

• what participants need to live a good life.

Group homes are places where people with disability:

• live together
• get support.
