Principles are important ideas that tell us how to make things better.

We are making principles about intersectionality.

Intersectionality happens when people with disability are treated differently because of both:

• their disability

• other things about them that they can’t change – like their background or race.

We asked Reference Group members what they think about our work on the principles.

Reference Group members told us intersectionality is very important.

They think we should do more to explain what it means.

They told us we should make sure the goals of each principle are clear.

Members also told us we should make sure:

• we can achieve these goals

• the NDIA can achieve these goals

• our principles can make supports and services better.

Members also told us the NDIA could be more inclusive if they make their training better.

For example, they should have training about:

• intersectionality

• trauma

• supporting people from different backgrounds.

They told us the NDIS should think about people.

Not just disability.
