What is Participant?
In plain English
A person who is eligible for and receives support through the NDIS. The NDIS uses this word instead of client or patient.
Participant is the word the NDIS uses for a person who is eligible for and receives support through the scheme. It is used deliberately instead of client or patient, because the NDIS is built around the person directing their own supports. If you have an approved NDIS plan, you are a participant. The language is a small but real signal of choice and control.
