Assessments

The NDIA uses assessments to work out:

• how someone’s disability affects their life
• what funding someone needs from the NDIS.

Bulletin

A bulletin is an important news item we share with the community.

It explains what we did in our last meeting.

Check-in

A check-in is when the NDIA talks with a participant about how their supports are going.

Funding

Funding is money that pays for the NDIS supports a participant needs.

Human rights

Human rights are rules about how people must treat you:

• fairly
• equally.

Ministers

A minister leads an area of the government.

NDIA Board

The NDIA Board is a group of people who make decisions about all parts of the NDIA.

NDIS plan

An NDIS plan has information about:

• a participant and their goals
• what supports they need
• what the NDIS will pay for.

Participants

Participants are people with disability who take part in the NDIS.

Providers

Providers support people with disability by delivering a service.  

Trauma

Trauma is the way you feel about something bad that happened to you.

For example, you might feel scared or stressed.

Trauma can affect you for a long time.

Unregistered providers

An unregistered provider can offer supports and services to participants.

But there are certain supports and services they can’t provide.
