This is a summary of the Participant Reference Group's (PRG) meeting.
The Participant Reference Group (PRG) makes sure the NDIA hears and understands the participant voice. The PRG has 23 members from participant and carer organisations across Australia.
The NDIA uses feedback from PRG meetings to keep making the NDIS better.
PRG members work on what the NDIA plans to do. They work on new and current policies, improving the systems we use, and how we deliver services.
