What is the NDIS?
“Rather than disability service providers being paid by
state governments to support individuals - people
would get money from the government directly to
spend with the providers that they chose. This was a
crucial change – it meant power would rest with
people and not the providers, giving people with
disability choice and control: two things they’d never
had before.”
Kurt Fearnley quoting Bruce Bonyhady, the first chair of the NDIA Board- in

that the NDIA is striving towards:

 Choice and Control, how Hireup’s Empowering Vision aligns with Agile Principles
Appendix
What is the cultural change?
The cultural change is a power shift. The way the
NDIS is funded allows people with disabilities more
choice and control over their lives.
Previously funds were given to agencies who
distributed the money to people with disabilities.
Now the funds go directly to the individual and they
have control on how to spend them.
What’s the massive
organisational change?
“More than 7 years on, the NDIS is now
available across Australia. More than
400,000 Australians with disabilities are
accessing support through the scheme –
more than one third of those for the very
first time. It’s one of the greatest social
reforms in Australia’s history.”
Kurt Fearnley - A Nation Changed Podcast
Choice and Control
We believe that people with disability should have
total choice and control over their supports. We've
designed the Hireup model to ensure that people with
disability decide who they work with, when they want
their bookings to happen and how they would like
their support delivered.
