Imagine:
Reaching adulthood and realising no one has ever truly asked you,
“What do you want from life?”
You have never been asked:
- where you’d like to live,
- what you dream of doing,
- who you want beside you, or
- what lights you up inside.
Picture always being told where to go, what’s next, or what’s “best for you”. Without anyone stopping to ask what matters to you. Imagine decisions being made around tables you’re not invited to, while your hopes and ideas wait quietly in the background, unseen. For many people with disability, this isn’t imagination. Its what happens EVERYDAY.
Changing that starts with a simple but powerful act:
Asking, listening, and believing that every person deserves to dream, decide, and direct their own life.
Supporting goal setting in the NDIS involves working collaboratively with clients to identify their individual aspirations and needs. It is essential to facilitate discussions that encourage participants to reflect on their values, interests, and long-term objectives. This can be achieved through personalised support planning, where clients are guided to identify their goals in a clear and measurable way.
