What is this article about?

Therefore, providers of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) services are expected to support NDIS participants to exercise their autonomy. This includes ensuring that participants are adequately informed about their care so that they are positioned to make informed choices.

Sometimes I find it really hard to make time for my learning, but I was blown away by how easy it is with the Ausmed app. I can fit it in during breaks or on the bus to work.
