The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of the concept of support for decision making in the NDIS. The paper will provide the basis of advice to the NDIA Board in relation to the development and implementation of a consistent approach for support for decision making that meets the Scheme obligations and aspirations to provide real choice for people with disability. Supported decision making starts from the premise that everyone has the right to participate in decision making and everyone draws on some support at some time to make some decisions.
