Planning for a better life under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS)

该项目旨在分析和界定农村和偏远地区残疾人的经历和期望。参加国家残疾保险计划(NDIS)的人必须完成个性化服务计划，然而，尽管进行了这些改革，农村和偏远社区的人目前在该计划下面临着许多挑战。利用定性研究方法，该项目将调查人们在《2016-2019年农村和偏远地区战略》以及《土著和托雷斯海峡岛民参与战略》下与当地地区协调员和规划者接触的经验。该项目将为农村和偏远地区的土著和非土著残疾人、残疾服务提供者以及政府和非政府政策制定者提供重要成果。

This project aims to analyse and define the experiences and expectations of people with disability in rural and remote regions. People accessing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) are required to complete a personalised service plan, however despite these reforms, people in rural and remote communities currently experience many challenges with the scheme. Using qualitative research methods, the project will investigate people’s experiences engaging with Local Area Coordinators and Planners under the Rural and Remote Strategy 2016-2019 and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Engagement Strategy. The project will provide significant outcomes for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people with disability in rural and remote areas, disability service providers, and government and non-government policy makers.
