Reference Group members talked about:

• their advice for the NDIA about home and living supports

• the IAC’s Work Plan for 2024 to 2025.

The Work Plan is a document that explains what the IAC will do.

Members shared they will look at research to improve their advice.

This includes research that shows how:

• new types of home and living supports can support participants

• using home and living supports in different ways can support participants.

Members explained that their work should focus on what makes it harder for participants to find and use home and living supports.

This includes home and living supports that work well every time.

Members also talked about the navigator role.

Navigators will help people with disability to:

• learn about different supports
• connect with experts
• find and use the supports they need.

Members shared that they want to give advice on the navigator role.

Members also shared that they want to give advice on how to help participants get the right home and living supports.

This includes advice on how to support:

• people who live far away from cities or towns

• First Nations communities.

Members want to give this advice after they read what the Australian Government says about the NDIS Review.
