The NDIA gave the Reference Group an update on their home and living demonstration projects.

The NDIA is testing new ways that home and living supports could work.

They call these ‘home and living demonstration projects’.

Reference Group members shared that if the projects had less rules, more participants would take part.

Members also shared that the NDIA should focus on participants’ experience.

It will make the projects better.

Members explained that providers need more time to take part in the project.

And this affects how participants take part in the projects.

Members shared there is a risk that only providers will share ideas about fixing issues.

But participants should lead the research.
