Participant Rights

Your Rights

Your support should respect your rights, choices and individuality.

At Finding Path, we believe understanding your rights is an important part of receiving safe and respectful support.

As an NDIS participant, your support should promote and respect your legal and human rights and support you to exercise informed choice and control.

  • You have the right to be treated with dignity and respect

    Your privacy, dignity, culture, values, beliefs and individuality should be respected.

  • You have the right to make choices

    You should be involved in decisions about your supports and given information you can understand.

    You should have time to consider your options and seek advice if you need it.

  • You have the right to independence

    Support should recognise your abilities and help you maintain or develop independence wherever appropriate.

  • You have the right to privacy

    You should understand what personal information is being collected about you, why it is needed and how it is handled.

  • You have the right to communicate in a way that works for you

    Information about your supports should be provided in a language, communication method and terms you are most likely to understand.

  • You have the right to your culture, values and beliefs

    Your culture, diversity, values and beliefs should be respected and sensitively supported.

  • You have the right to feel safe

    You have the right to receive support that respects your safety and protects you from violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination.

  • You have the right to speak up

    You can ask questions, give feedback or make a complaint.

    Making a complaint will not negatively affect your right to receive respectful support from Finding Path.

    You may ask someone you trust or an advocate to support you.
