The NDIS is establishing a panel to listen and understand more from people with disabilities in harder-to-reach communities.
Organizations on this panel will support the NDIA to hear directly from people with disability (including their families and carers), with a focus on harder-to-reach communities. These include people with intellectual disability, cognitive disabilities, people housed in group or hospital settings, and/or people from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse communities.
Engagement activities could include things like one-on-one interviews and focus groups.
Organizations with experience and understanding of the disability sector, including harder to reach communities, are invited to lodge a Tender response for the Participant Engagement Panel.
Information and advice on the tender application process is available on the AusTender website
Please direct all inquiries about the Request for Tender to the Contact Officer at panels@ndis.gov.au.
