NDIS participants housing satisfaction

What is being tracked?

Measure: Proportion of NDIS participants who are happy with current home

This measure is part of the Housing accessibility standards priority of the Strategy. This priority is about making sure people with disability can live in homes that meet their needs.

The desired outcome is that more National Disability Insurance Scheme participants are happy with their home.

This measure will be replaced during the life of the Strategy once available data allow the following to be tracked – proportion of people with disability whose home is suitable and accessible.
