Understanding Choice and Control in the NDIS


The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is built on two powerful ideas: choice and control. These words aren’t just part of the system; they are about you, your life, and your future.


At WEmpower, we believe everyone deserves to make their own decisions and have the support to turn those decisions into reality.



What Do Choice and Control Mean?


Choice means you get to decide who supports you, how they support you, and when that support happens. Control means you are in charge of your plan and your future. Some people like to manage things on their own, while others prefer a little help along the way. It’s all about doing things in the way that feels right for you.


Why Is It So Important?


Having choice and control gives you independence and freedom. It lets you build a life that matches your goals, values, and the things that make you happy. It helps you grow in confidence, learn new skills, and speak up for yourself. Most importantly, when you are in charge, your supports are more likely to be meaningful and make a real difference in your life.



What Does It Look Like in Everyday Life?


It might be choosing a support worker you feel comfortable with. It could be deciding if you’d like to live in a shared home or more independently. It may be about joining community activities that excite you or exploring work and training that match your strengths. Choice and control look different for everyone because your life and goals are unique.


How WEmpower Can Help


We’re here to walk beside you, not in front of you. That means listening to what you want, being flexible as your needs change, and giving you clear information so you can make the best decisions for yourself. We also work with families, carers, and other providers to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.



Your Rights: Choice and Control


Choice and control are not just NDIS principles; they are your rights! You deserve to decide what your life looks like and to have the support that helps you get there. At WEmpower, we’re proud to stand with you, giving you the freedom and confidence to create the future you want.
