Know My Rights: Act On It (for Support Workers)
Respecting and protecting the rights of people with disability is a fundamental responsibility of every support worker. Within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), participants have the right to make choices, express their views, receive safe and high-quality supports, and be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. Support workers play a vital role in ensuring these rights are upheld through person-centred care, effective communication, ethical practice, and professional accountability.
