In 2019, the NDIS Commission facilitated a study investigating the causes of death in people receiving disability supports and services, finding that many people who had died did not receive preventative healthcare measures such as vaccinations, dental check-ups, comprehensive health examinations and referrals to allied health services. All NDIS participants have the right to be in optimal physical, oral and mental health. It’s therefore the responsibility of providers to monitor participants’ health, safety and wellbeing, help them to maintain their health and assist in accessing healthcare services.
