The NDIA established the Self-Management Advisory Group in 2024. The Group provide advice to the NDIA on changes to the NDIS that impact people who self-manage their plans. This includes advice on implementing NDIS Reform and the Self-Management Policy.
The NDIA is committed to working with people with disability and the disability sector to strengthen self-management practices and improve how self-managed participants experience the NDIS.
This is at the core of our approach to co-designing reform.
This is why the NDIA has established a Self-Management Advisory Group.
The Self-Management Advisory Group will help shape how the NDIA co-designs and engage with the disability community about changes that impact self-management.
