Embracing Change: A Guide to the NDIS Practice Standards

The Embracing Change project was established to foster greater awareness of the NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators from a psychosocial disability perspective and support existing and prospective NDIS providers to achieve increasing alignment with the NDIS Practice Standards.

Mental Health Coordinating Council has developed two new resources to support organisations that provide services to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants with a psychosocial disability.

The NDIS Practice Standards Guidebook: An essential guide for psychosocial disability service providers and an accompanying online resource, the NDIS Practice Standards Self-Assessment Tool, are now available for providers to access below.

Watch the webinar launch

The webinar provides information on the new resources including a demonstration on how to use the online self-assessment tool.

An information sheet with the webinar Q&A session and a list of helpful links is also available to download.
