The Long Form Outcomes Survey

• Participants, their family or carers may be contacted by phone to participate in a NDIA experience survey during August, September and October 2019. 
• Participants selected to take part will receive a phone call, SMS or email from the NDIA, their Local Area Coordinator or Australian Healthcare Associates (AHA) before being asked to take part in the survey. 
• It will take about 30 minutes to complete.
• The survey will be used by the NDIA to help identify the types of supports that lead to good outcomes for participants.

Assurance review of self-managed payments

• The Agency has selected a number of self-managed NDIS participants to take part in a review of provider payments, in the Agency's Business Assurance Program testing during July-September 2019.
• These participants may receive a call from the National Contact Centre to discuss a specific payment they have made to a provider from their NDIS plan. The call will include a short survey about their experiences of managing their own plan.
• The participants will also be asked to upload documents relating to the specific payment on the myplace participant portal. A follow up letter will include instructions on how to do this.

Customer Satisfaction Surveys

• The NDIA engaged McNair yellowSquares to undertake ongoing customer satisfaction surveys on behalf of the National Contact Centre (NCC). These calls take place between 10am and 8.30pm, Monday to Friday.
• McNair yellowSquares contacts participants, nominees and providers who have recently contacted the NCC and asks about their customer service experience. 
• Feedback helps the Agency understand callers’ concerns and issues, which helps ensure we are continuing to improve our service to better meet the needs of participants and providers. 
• In line with the Agency’s information handling practices, we provide McNair yellowSquares with the telephone number and the date the caller contacted the Agency.
