We are committed to keeping all participants safe from fraud.

In recognition of International Fraud Awareness Week, we’re sharing some tips to help you recognise fraud and learn how to protect yourself.

Some helpful tips include:

🔒 Never share your myGov login details.

🔒 Make sure you know who you are speaking with. If you are unsure, ask them for proof of employment.

🔒 Make sure your plan nominee is someone you trust as they can act on your behalf.

🔒 Only show your NDIS plan to people you know well and trust.

🔒 Always keep records of the things you pay for with your NDIS funds.

🔒 Always check your invoices to make sure you haven’t been charged for services you didn’t receive.

🔒 Don’t use providers who are offering vouchers, gifts or cash.

Our latest Quarterly Report shows the NDIS continues to deliver social and economic benefits for participants, families and the nation.

Data shows work participation for young participants (aged 15–24) more than doubled, from 10% to 23%, after 2 years in the NDIS.

In this report, you can read about participant Jacob, a 24 year old from South Australia, who turned his passion for trains into a career. ‘Helping people get where they need to go safely’ he says, ‘it’s everything I’ve ever wanted.’

Occupational and speech therapies, funded by the NDIS, has helped Jacob build life and social skills, and capacity to live and work independently.

Our latest Quarterly Report shows sustained improvement in key life areas for participants, including choice and control, community participation, daily living and health and wellbeing.

Data shows participation in community and social activities for participants aged 15 years and older increased from 34% at baseline to 41%.

In the report you can read about Elise, a 35 year old participant from Queensland, who achieved her goal of completing a Certificate III in hospitality. Elise says, ’Don’t let disability stop you from doing what you want. Someone out there can help.’

With NDIS funding she was able to get tailored support, including a hospitality-trained support worker to support her in the kitchen.

The NDIA and The Salvation Army’s Project 614 Café in Melbourne have joined forces to support vulnerable locals in accessing the NDIS. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏼

Since August 2023, NDIA planners have worked onsite daily alongside cafe staff, health professionals and other government services to provide person-centred support to approximately 600 individuals who visit the café each day.

‘We all link in with each other because these patrons are vulnerable. They are at risk of disengaging, so we do our best to make sure they get the best possible experience,’ says NDIA planner Felicity.

'For 40 minutes, all that idea of disability and challenge is forgotten – we’re just mates on a field, playing footy, where we’re accepted, and we're having fun.' 🏉

In the latest episode of NITV Radio's Speak My Language podcast from SBS Australia, Dr Alexander Smith speaks of his experience in the Physical Disability Rugby League.
The League has profoundly impacted Alex’s life, keeping him active, providing social opportunities, and making massive strides for representation.

'It’s no longer associated with trauma, rehab and someone else dictating what I’m doing. It’s about having fun and getting to enjoy the ability to move again.'
