NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission invites NDIS participants and providers to attend local drop-in sessions in Shepparton
NDIS participants and providers in the Shepparton region are invited to attend a drop-in session with key representatives from the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) on Tuesday 27th February 2024 in the Shepparton Senior Citizen’s Centre.
The NDIS Commission is committed to ensuring that NDIS participants are receiving safe and quality support from NDIS funded providers.
In the morning session, key NDIS Commission staff will be available to meet with participants, their families and advocates to discuss the NDIS Commission and its functions, and the ways it can help participants choose supports and services, as well as helping to resolve complaints or address feedback about NDIS service providers.
Mahashini Krishna, Assistant Commissioner, Regulatory Campaigns and Projects, encouraged NDIS participants, their families and carers to drop in for a chat.
“We're visiting Shepparton to meet participants, their families and supporters. We want participants to know that they can raise problems or concerns relating to their NDIS services or supports with us, and we can take action to resolve it and make it better. We're separately meeting with providers to ensure they are aware of and meeting their obligations.”
A separate afternoon session for both registered and unregistered NDIS providers will provide links to key resources, remind them of their responsibilities and obligations under the NDIS Code of Conduct, and provide an opportunity for questions direct to NDIS Commission staff.
The NDIS Code of Conduct requires NDIS Providers to:
- Act with honesty, integrity and transparency.
- Respect individual rights to self-determination and decision-making.
- Respect freedom of expression.
