Your Rights
If you have a disability you can apply to get help and funding
from the NDIS. It is very important for you to know and understand your rights under the NDIS.
You have the right to:
- Have an advocate or support person with you when you are talking to the NDIS. You also have the right to choose your own advocate or support person.
- Get NDIS information in ways you can understand including easy English, audio etc.
- Say what you want in your NDIS plan
- Complain or to ask for a review if you are unhappy with an NDIS decision including:
- not letting you join the NDIS
- not getting the funding or support you think you need
- not getting what you wanted in your plan
- not changing your plan when you ask them to.
You can also ask your support worker or advocate to help you to complain or to ask for a review.
- Complain if the NDIS staff or service provider does not do what they said they would do. If this happens you should contact a disability advocacy service near you.
