Experts of Experience: The Voice of the Client in Service Governance and Innovation in the NDIS. Step One: Participant Engagement Process
The research team for this project is planning to apply for a large grant to examine the way choice and voice work for participants, their families and providers in the National Disability Insurance Scheme. As the first step in this process, this project focused on working with people with disability, their families and their representative organisations to design the larger project. The project team looked at project design, how best to recruit participants, how to pay them for their time, how to balance the recruitment of different cohorts in the sector, and how to recruit researchers with life experience of disability to work in the project once it is fully funded.
