Update: Thank you to everyone who has submitted an EOI! We have had such a huge number of applications that we will have to close the form. Thank you everyone for your interest in the project! 

Were making a new app. This is part of the Supporting My Rights project.

The app will help young people with Down syndrome or intellectual disability learn about their rights when using the NDIS.

It will also help support workers and service providers learn how to respect people’s rights.

We want to make sure our app is:

• Easy to understand
• Useful 
• Clear 

Everyone who finishes each workshop will get a $60 gift card to say thank you.

Who can join our testing?

We are looking for up to 10 people, including:

• Teenagers and young adults between 13 years and 24 years old, with Down syndrome or intellectual disability
• Service providers or workers

What will I do? 

You can join one or both of our workshops:

1. Workshop 1 - Resource user-testing on Friday 22 August 2025 (2 hours)
2. Workshop 2 - App user-testing on Monday 29 September 2025 (2 hours)

In the workshop, you will:

• Look at our ideas and resources
• Tell us what you think
