What is this Reference Group about?

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

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

A home and living supports icon. The icon shows a hand holding a house.

This Reference Group is about home and living supports.

The Reference Group gives advice to the IAC about how people with disability can:

A person in front of a house.
  • live in their own home

A hand choosing between 3 houses.

  • choose where they want to live.

They also give advice to the IAC about how people with disability can:

A person cooking at home.
  • do things for themselves in their home

A large group of people outside.

  • take part in their community.

We just call them the NDIA Board.
