Our commitment to you

We are committed to improving how we serve NDIS participants. That’s why we’ve introduced a Participant Service Charter to explain what participants can expect when they deal with us.

The Participant Service Improvement Plan sets out what we are going to do over the next two years to deliver a Scheme that meets participants’ expectations. Visit the Participant Service Improvement Plan page to see the changes we’re making to improve the NDIS for everyone.

Participant Service Charter

The Participant Service Charter is based on five principles for our engagement with participants. We are committed to offering service that is:

Transparent

We will make it easy to access and understand our information and decisions.

Responsive

We will respond to individual needs and circumstances.   

Respectful

We will recognise your individual experience and acknowledge you are an expert in your own life.  

Empowering

We will make it easy to access information and be supported by the NDIS to lead your life.

Connected

We will support you to access the services and supports you need.

The Participant Service Charter also tells you how you can contact us, make a complaint or provide feedback, and your rights if you do not agree with a decision we’ve made. 

Participant Service Guarantee 

The Participant Service Charter includes timeframes for our processes – set out under the Participant Service Guarantee. 

The NDIA must make decisions about access, plan approvals, plan reviews and nominee changes within these timeframes. This gives participants, families and carers greater certainty about how long processes will take. 

Each quarter, the Agency reports against Participant Service Guarantee timeframes in the Quarterly Report.
