01.01.2022 Calling all nominees and NDIS participants with a nominee. If you happen to have any networks with other organisations, we would really appreciate if they could share the link from the Baptcare page in order to get as much exposure as possible. All the details are on the Facebook post of how to register etc. ... As a thank you for your time, we are offering a $50 gift voucher to the first 100 people who complete an interview. Register now to take part in our Research Study Baptcare is conducting a research study that looks at why people choose to have a nominee and why people choose to become nominees. We want to get a better understanding of your experiences, your challenges and the many, many decisions you are faced with every day as a participant in the NDIS or a nominee. The aim of the research is to better understand the experiences of nominees and participants. Because we are a Partner in the Community with NDIS, we can use this information to make changes that will give more choice and control to people using our services. We will also use these results to make recommendations to the NDIA. The Disability Team are conducting a small research project and we are asking people to participate via a Facebook Post. This link takes you directly to the survey https://www.baptcare.org.au//disability-ser/ndis-research
