This report is from a research project that explores what helps people to self manage their National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plan. It scans the current conditions in Australia that help or hinder NDIS self-management, and it identifies resources that show promise for including people who are left behind.

The research questions are:

• What is the experience of people with disability with self managing NDIS plans?
• What conditions have contributed to helping a larger share of people use self-management?
• What resources show promise to include people who are usually excluded from self management, such as people with cognitive and psychosocial disability?
