About this Reference Group

A group of people. 2 of them are raising their hands to say something.

A Reference Group is a group of people who give us advice about a certain topic.

An NDIS worker supporting someone.

The Reference Group shares their ideas with the IAC about how to support people with intellectual disability.

3 icons inside of a circle. The icons are: a lightbulb, a cog, and a brain.

An intellectual disability affects how you:

  • learn new things
  • solve problems
  • communicate
  • do things on your own.

This includes support to:

A large group of people outside together.

  • take part in the community

A person supporting someone else beneath a thought bubble. The thought bubble shows a box with a tick inside of it.

  • make your own decisions.

The IAC use these ideas when they write their advice for the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) Board.

We just call them the NDIA Board.
