📢 Are you an NDIS Participant? Don't forget: YOU have the power! 💪
Navigating the NDIS can sometimes feel complicated, but the whole scheme is built on one very simple idea: Choice and Control.
Your rights aren't just suggestions; they are there to ensure you live an inclusive, fulfilling life and are treated with dignity.
Here is a quick refresher on your core rights as a participant. 👇
✨ THE BIG 5 NDIS RIGHTS ✨
1️⃣ Choice & Control 👉 You are the boss of your plan. You get to choose who delivers your supports, how they do it, and you can change providers whenever you want.
2️⃣ Dignity & Respect 🤝 You have the right to be treated fairly and equally. Your culture, values, and beliefs must be respected by the people supporting you.
3️⃣ Safety First 🛡️ You have the absolute right to live free from abuse, neglect, and violence. Your services must be safe and high-quality.
4️⃣ Your Privacy Matters 🔒 Your personal information belongs to you. Providers cannot share your details without your permission.
5️⃣ To Be Heard & Understood 🗣️ Information must be given to you in a way that makes sense (like Easy Read or via an interpreter). If you need help speaking up, you have the right to use an advocate.
🛑 What if your rights aren't being met?
If you feel unsafe, unheard, or disrespected, speak up! You can talk to your provider directly, or contact the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission at ndiscommission.gov.au.
Never forget that your NDIS plan is designed to work for you.
At Australian Support Services WA , we're committed to upholding your rights every single day. Have questions? Contact us anytime.
