The new way of planning aims to make planning fairer and easier to understand.
Before it starts from April 2027, we need to put it to the test. How does it work for participants with different disability-related support needs, backgrounds and life experiences?
Testing with a wide range of participants helps us learn what works well and what needs to improve.
If you choose to take part:
🔒 what you tell us during testing is kept separate from your NDIS record
✅ it won’t affect your current or future NDIS plan, funding, supports or eligibility
💬 your feedback will help shape future testing and the new way of planning
💰 you’ll be paid $200 for each testing activity you complete.
Taking part is voluntary. Participants aged 18 and over and their nominees can apply to take part.
