The Summer Foundation and People with Disability Australia (PWDA) are researching the NDIS experiences of people with disability, their families and close supporters. The survey results will be presented to Minister Shorten, the NDIA and the government to address the current challenges.
The NDIS needs a lot of work to get it back on track. It is important that people with disability who use the NDIA have a say in how it is fixed. That’s why we are inviting you to tell us about your experience with the NDIS.
What will we do with the information you tell us?
Your survey response will be combined with everyone else’s who completes this survey. We will then share the important messages we hear with Minister Shorten, the NDIA and government. We won’t use your name in the report, but we might include some of the helpful things you tell us as de-identified quotes. We will also make the report available publicly so that you can see the summary of what NDIS participants have told us.
If you need support to complete this survey, please contact Alana Dobra on 0491 222 274 or email peersupport@summerfoundation.org.au.

Our Relationships with the NDIS – what makes them work or fall apart?
VIDEO PODCAST: 30 June 2022
In research by the Summer Foundation and La Trobe University, participants revealed that their relationship with the NDIA needs repairing – most had lost confidence and trust in the NDIA. Many recognised that they can’t opt out of this relationship, so with the appointment of a new government, many participants are optimistic that the time may be right for an honest dialogue between all parties about the future of the NDIS. Have your voice heard too, by filling out the NDIS Participant survey.
