What do we do?

The NDIS logo.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) supports participants across Australia.

Participants are people with disability who take part in the NDIS.

The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (NDIS Commission) makes sure participants:

  • are safe
  • get good quality services.

Quality is about services that:

  • support participants in the ways they need
  • give participants choice and control.

We also make sure providers are doing a good job.

Providers support people by delivering a service.

We also manage risks to participants.

We try to:

  • understand these risks
  • stop them from happening.

This includes keeping participants safe from:

A fist.
  • violence – when someone hurts you or controls you

  • abuse – when someone treats you badly

  • neglect – when someone is not helping you the way they are supposed to help you

  • exploitation – when someone takes advantage of you.
