Independence and Informed Choice Policy

The Independence and Informed Choice Policy ensures that NDIS participants are supported to maintain their independence and to make informed choices about their supports and services. The Independence and Informed Choice Policy promotes autonomy, self-determination, and the dignity of risk.

The Independence and Informed Choice Policy is essential for NDIS providers to comply with the NDIS Practice Standards. The Independence and Informed Choice Policy demonstrates how an organisation actively supports participants to build their capacity, exercise choice and control, and pursue their own goals.

The Independence and Informed Choice Policy includes:

commitment to supporting participant independence and decision-making,
processes for providing accessible information to enable informed choice,
strategies for supporting participants to understand risks and benefits of their decisions,
respect for the right of participants to make their own choices, including the dignity of risk,
support for capacity building and skill development, and
procedures for documenting informed choices and participant preferences.

The Independence and Informed Choice Policy is user-friendly and can be easily customised to suit your organisation’s service delivery approach. The Independence and Informed Choice Policy is an essential document for any NDIS provider committed to empowering participants to live independently.
