We will choose Council members who have lived experience of disability.

If you have lived experience of disability, you:

• have a disability

or

• know what life can be like for people with disability.

We will choose members who have experience:

• as a leader
• speaking up for people with disability.

We will also choose members who:

• are experts on subjects that affect the NDIS Commission
• understand the different experiences people with disability can have.

For example, members who understand intersectionality.

Intersectionality is about understanding how different parts of a person can affect their experiences.

For example, a person’s background or abilities.
