Such an important reminder of why the NDIS exists. When people receive the right supports, their wellbeing, independence, and participation naturally grow.
For so many participants, accessing the NDIS is a genuine turning point. We see this every day in Behaviour Support: when people have the tools, strategies and services they need, they’re not just “using funding”… they’re building skills, strengthening relationships, improving safety, and increasing their ability to engage in work, community and everyday life.
It’s easy for public conversations to focus on costs, but research like this highlights the real story — the NDIS is an investment in people’s lives, and the benefits ripple far beyond the Scheme itself.
This is exactly why quality, evidence‑based supports matter. When it's right, people thrive. 💚
New analysis by the e61 Institute, which tracks NDIS participants over more than a decade, finds substantial improvements to their workforce participation and self-reported energy levels within four years of accessing the taxpayer-funded scheme.
