The young people/adults in the NDIS reports look into the experience of young participants and how they are accessing and receiving supports from the Scheme.
- Group 1 (Young people) 0-14 years old
- Group 2 (Young adults) 15-24 years old.
The reports are helping us to understand important information about young participants and how they are accessing the Scheme, including:
- Participants, their disability group, gender and background
- Participant experience, how long they waited to access the Scheme, eligibility, leaving the Scheme, how do they manage their plans and numbers of complaints
- Goals and outcomes, what they want to achieve and how much choice and control they feel they have
- Supports and payments, how much support do they have in plans, the amount used and payments made.
This information is summarised into the reports for both groups 0-14 and 15-24 years.
