The department is developing a Disability Support Quality and Safeguarding Framework (the Framework) and Disability Support Ecosystem Safeguarding Strategy (the Strategy).

The Framework and the Strategy are intended to support all people with disability, within and outside the NDIS. The Framework and the Strategy will:

• set the standard and culture of the systems, services, supports, people and organisations that together meet the needs of people with disability
• empower people with disability to access quality supports and use safeguards
• unify and strengthen safeguards for people with disability.

The department has engaged AHA to provide consultation and engagement services to help develop the Framework and the Strategy. Our approach ensures that the views of the disability community and sector are considered at all stages of developing the Framework and the Strategy.
