Reference Group members talked about the NDIS Review’s ideas on:

  • navigators
  • foundational supports.

Foundational supports are disability supports for all people with disability.

This includes people with disability who don’t take part in the NDIS.

Members shared it’s important that people with disability can find and use the supports they need.

It shouldn’t matter which part of the government gives them funding for supports.

Funding is money from the government that pays for services and supports.

A co-design icon. Some of the people in the icon have disability.

Members also shared it’s important that people with disability can help design how foundational supports will work.

Members explained it will be important to give people with disability choice about their navigator.

This also means giving them the choice to change their navigator if they want to.

Members also explained it will be important to hire navigators:

An NDIS document with a dollar symbol next to it, a speech bubble, a certificate, and a 'CV' document. Next to these icons is a tick.
