Emerging new role as an employer: The experiences of parents who organise support services for their children with disability using NDIS

This project is about understanding the experiences of parents of children with disability and their perspectives regarding self-managed NDIS plans.

More people are opting in to self-manage NDIS plans each year however, there is limited research that investigated the experiences of these parents. The result of this project will contribute to inform evidence about self-managed NDIS plans, which will ultimately assist families to make appropriate choices for their children and develop tailored support services for families.

Eligibility 

To be eligible participants:

• Must be parents/caregivers of a child who is between the age of 7 and 18 years old with disability.
• Must have been self-managing their child’s NDIS plan for at least six (6) months, arranging services, such as support workers.
