The official NDIS website provides access to documents, and up to date information about how the NDIS works, and NDIS events such as local workshops and webinars.
NDIS and Me
People with Down syndrome and/or their families and carers can join the closed Facebook Group, NDIS and Me, for discussion specifically about the NDIS and people with Down syndrome.
Disability Loop - a way to find out more about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Through Disability Loop you can:
- Find a great selection of resources relating to the NDIS
- Find out how the NDIS is working for other people
- Have your say about the NDIS
- Keep up to date with news and events about the NDIS
Two other closed Facebook groups (only members can see the posts) that you might find useful for answering particular queries are:
- NDIS Grassroots Discussion - a large group run for and by people with all kinds of disabilities, and welcoming of carers - the administrators are very experienced in managing discussions that can become robust at times, as criticism of the NDIS is raised
- the newer and smaller I Love NDIS started recently to promote discussion individual's successes in putting their plans together and implementing them.

We have had a significant response to the first Counting What Counts survey but it's not too late to have your say.
If the NDIS is to be really helpful in people’s lives, it needs to be shaped in line with what people living with disability need to live a rich and meaningful life.
Currently, much of the NDIS development is focused on how service providers make the move to the NDIS. This creates a risk that the NDIS market will reflect what providers need, not what people and their families need.
Counting What Counts is a series of surveys to find out more about what people living with disability, their families and supporters, want. JFA Purple Orange will publish the survey results, so people can use the information to make sure the NDIS is implemented well.

We’ll be releasing our first Every Australian Counts Community Report Card in December and we need you to shape it.
