NDIS Guidelines: how decisions are made

Updated information about what we consider when we make decisions under the NDIS is available in NDIS-Guidelines.  https://ourguidelines.ndis.gov.au/

The guidelines are based on the NDIS Legislation and Rules. They explain what we need to consider and how we make decisions based on the legislation.

The updated guidelines make the NDIS more transparent, clearer and easier to understand. You can read more about this in the Participant Service Charter. https://www.ndis.gov.au/about-us/policies/service-charter
