Our Work Plan

Reference Group members looking at a document together.

Reference Group members looked at what their Work Plan will focus on.

The Work Plan is a document that explains what the Reference Group will work on.

An arrow pointing from a calendar that reads '1 July 2023' to another calendar that reads '31 December 2024'.

The Reference Group will use this Work Plan from:

  • 1 July 2023

to

  • 31 December 2024.

They talked about how the advice in the Work Plan can improve:

A person with disability being supported by a NDIS employment support. Above them is a make better icon.

  • NDIS employment supports for people with intellectual disability

A NDIA worker with a 'Plan' document next to them.

  • how the NDIA makes NDIS plans.

They also talked about how the Work Plan should improve how the NDIS works with:

A group of people in front of an organisation building.

  • other organisations

A parent with disability supporting their child.

  • participants who are parents.

Members explained that the Work Plan should include the work the Reference Group can do.

A worker pointing to themself with their other hand raised. They have a speech bubble with a glowing lightbulb in it, and above them is an arrow pointing to the left.

This includes the work they can do before the NDIS Review shares their ideas about the NDIS.

An Australian government building. Next to the building is a NDIS plan with a magnifying glass focusing on it.

The Australian Government is checking the NDIS to find out what:

  • works well
  • could be better.

They call it the NDIS Review.

A group of professional people having a meeting.

It also includes the work the Reference Group can do before the Disability Royal Commission shares their ideas about the NDIS.

2 thought bubbles coming out of a government building. One thought bubble has a thumbs down and the other thought bubble has a hand holding a wrench.

A royal commission is how the government looks into a big problem.

It helps us find out what:

  • went wrong
  • we can fix.

A person supporting someone else. Above them is an intersectionality icon.

Members shared that each area of the Work Plan should support people who experience intersectionality.

A disability icon and a person with a thought bubble with an icon for Islam in it.

You can be different in more than one way.

And people might treat you differently for each part of who you are.

We call this intersectionality.

A person reading a document. Above them is an 'Advice' booklet with a pen writing on it.

Members also shared that the Reference Group should use the advice from the last Work Plan to support the new Work Plan.

A 'Guide' document with an information icon on it. Next to the document is an update icon.

Members also explained that the Reference Group need to update the information in their guide about how their meetings work.
