What is Choice and Control?

In plain English

A core NDIS principle. You decide who supports you, what services you receive, and how your plan is managed.

Choice and control is the principle at the heart of the NDIS. It means you decide who supports you, what services you receive, when they happen and how your plan is managed. It is the reason self-managed and plan-managed participants can use unregistered and independent providers, not just large registered organisations. Real choice depends on knowing your options, which is exactly what a directory like Supportd is built to give you.
