Self Directed Disability Support (SDDS)

The research project, "Self directed disability support (SDDS): building community capacity through action research", explores how people with disability manage the transition towards self directed disability support. Australian evidence on this critical topic is thin. Information re the impact of self directed options on people requiring support, informal carers and support providers, and, the effectiveness of existing disability support systems is gathered in this project. The Social Policy Research Centre (SPRC), University of New South Wales (UNSW), in collaboration with People With Disability Australia (PWDA) and the Centre for Children and Young People (CCYP), Southern Cross University (SCU), is conducting the project. 

This plan explains the project methodology and management. The authors are: Karen R. Fisher, Sam Cooper, Christiane Purcal, Ngila Bevan and Ariella Meltzer. (APO 15/4/13)
