Frontline Episode 5: Choice & Control

About this episode

The episode discusses the concepts of choice and control in the context of the NDIS and how it empowers people with disabilities.

Today, we’re going to look at a little concept called choice & control. Ever heard of it? This is our last episode of the series (sad, we know ), but we couldn’t say goodbye without talking about the principles at the heart of the NDIS. In this episode, Sara speaks to people with disability about the distinction between choice and control, and how NDIS workers can support people to sit in the driver's seats of their own lives.
