Welcome to the JFA Purple Orange NDIS participant experience survey.

This survey is for people to tell us about their experiences of the NDIS participant pathway. The questions are aimed towards the participant themselves however we welcome the chance for caregivers or family members to respond on behalf of an NDIS participant. As such, our questions have been designed to allow for this.

JFA Purple Orange is not connected to the National Disability Insurance Agency or any disability service provider. We are a social profit organisation based in Adelaide, South Australia. We strive to create a world where people who live with disability have a fair go at what life has to offer.

This means we listen to, learn from and work alongside people who live with disability to develop policy and practice that makes a difference.  This survey is one of the ways in which we hear the voices of people living with disability. We are grateful to all of you who take the time to complete this survey.

Please note the following things:

1. You can choose to leave questions blank if you do not wish to answer them
2. All information received will be treated as highly confidential.
3. Survey data will be reported in an anonymous way.
4. There is an option at the end for you to provide contact details if you wish to do so.  This would be helpful as we intend to hold further opportunities for consultations with people to better understand their NDIS experience. However this is entirely optional and you do not need to give any contact details if you do not wish to do so. Any contact with you would remain entirely confidential.

Many thanks for taking part in this survey; the information you can provide is highly valuable to our work at JFA Purple Orange.
