The NDIA is developing a new policy on Support for Decision Making. 

The policy aims to:

• increase the opportunity for participants to be actively involved in making decisions about their lives and to exercise real choice and control
• support development of participants’ capability in making decisions (and helping participants to explore and make those decisions)
• build the capacity of decision supporters, agency staff and partners to recognise and enable the will and preference of participants
• strengthen a support for decision making approach in the appointment of nominees

NDIS participants, families and carers, support coordinators, and disability organisations are invited to give their thoughts.

Consultation closes 5pm Friday 25 August 2021.
