Our commitment to participants

The NDIS is making a real difference in the lives of Australians. We help people with disability be more independent, find work, study and have greater choice and control over how they want to live their life. 

We put the participant at the centre of everything we do.

We focus on making sure the Scheme delivers a consistent and high-quality experience for all participants. 

The Participant Service Charter and Participant Service Guarantee (PSG)

The Participant Service Charter (Service Charter) explains what participants can expect when they deal with the NDIA and Partners in the Community. 

The Service Charter sets out the principles and standards we want to achieve. It outlines how we’ll improve the way we serve participants and the timeframes we’ll meet. 

It includes the PSG, which sets clear time frames for our decisions and processes.

The Service Charter is based on five principles for working with participants, their families and carers. 

We’re committed to offering service that is:

  • transparent
  • responsive
  • respectful
  • empowering
  • connected. 

We want to make a difference in the lives of Australians and deliver a world-leading Scheme. We’ll do this through the Service Charter and PSG. 

This shows how we want to improve the Scheme, and make Australia a more inclusive place for all of us.

See the Service Charter page for more information about the Service Charter and PSG.
