Person-centered support starts with listening and choice

Person-centered support means real choice and control: goals, routines, worker fit, and the right to say no.

Code of Conduct alignment

The NDIS Code of Conduct sets expectations around rights, privacy, safe and competent supports, integrity, and acting on concerns. Person-centered practice aligns directly with these expectations.

Red flags and practical steps

Rushing, ignoring communication needs, and controlling support delivery are warning signs. Participants can raise concerns and can report issues to the Commission.

For concerns about conduct or safety, contact the Commission. For plan questions, check NDIA guidance.
