And Steph, what things about the NDIS health interface that do you believe is really important that doctors should understand better?

Stephanie SearleGUEST
better?Yeah, I think the NDIS can be a really complicated system for most people to navigate, including us as healthcare workers.

Stephanie SearleGUEST
The NDIS is a system that was set up to be supporting people's permanent lifelong disability.

Stephanie SearleGUEST
The system isn't about treatment or trying to change a person's disability, but supporting the care needs that exist around that.

Stephanie SearleGUEST
And obviously, our health system is very much set up with the intent that we are treating people's health and trying to address any short-term medical conditions that may come up and be reversible, as opposed to that NDIS space that's permanent lifelong.

Stephanie SearleGUEST
I think as, as doctors, people can often be presented with various forms and paperwork that goes with, with the NDIS, and if in particular it's something around confirmation of a person's disability or an access request form, for example, which might be used to support a person gaining access to the NDIS as a first port of call, it's really important that we don't use medicalized language in any of those reports that are going to the NDIS.
