In recent years the NDIS has faced demands to be more financially sustainable as a greater number of participants than expected has entered the scheme. This paper outlines the pressures on the NDIS relating to entry, and decisions around what constitutes ‘reasonable and necessary’ supports.

The NDIS is designed to have people with lived experience of disability at its centre. This means that people have choice and control over their funding and supports and ultimately over their own lives. This paper discusses the concept of 'supporting' rather than 'substituting' the decisions of people with disability.

This background paper examines access and planning processes in the NDIS for people living with intellectual disability.

This paper is designed to give an overview of issues for participants with complex needs in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The paper discusses four main themes – the definition of complex needs, choice and control, restrictive practices, and participant voice.

This paper explains the range of employment supports that should be available for people with disabilities, and the extent to which they are provided in the current system.
