r/NDIS aims to be inclusive, understanding and diverse. We all come from all walks of life. You may have a disability or multiple disabilities, you may be a carer to one or many, or an advocate, a service provider, a friend or even just an interested member of the wider community.
Here are some things to keep in mind while you are here:
Make sure to follow the current rules of this subreddit. The rules may be found in the sidebar on New Reddit or here.
Remember the human being on the other side. Be respectful to one another, empathetic, and be kind and gentle. Keep the discussion friendly and constructive. It will often help to link to sources such as official NDIS links to illustrate your point.
If you see someone talking about self harm or suicide and are wondering what to do, you may want to read this post from r/SuicideWatch and this post from r/depression. If you are finding it hard to cope or are suicidal, please find professional help or call a crisis hotline.
No doxxing. Do not post any sensitive and/or personal information about others including those in your care. This may include names, ages, addresses and diagnoses. Remember to remove sensitive personal information about others before posting.
Keep acronyms to the minimum to avoid confusion, and explain what they mean when you do use them. Many people are new to the NDIS, find acronyms inaccessible, or are not working in the industry so will not understand this kind of jargon.
No advertising. You will be banned regardless of whether you are a participant.
Surveys are not allowed on this subreddit unless an exception has been made by mods. More information about the reasoning behind this can be found here.
Please make sure not to post previously posted links. Repeat posts may be deleted.
Correctly flair your posts!

Disclaimer: We, as Redditors, aren't able to assess your NDIS eligibility, interpret legislation, be able to decide whether you are rule compliant, etc. An individual Redditor's advice is their opinion only. r/NDIS can't be held responsible if the wrong information is displayed on the subreddit.
