Targeted foundational supports for psychosocial disability. Evidence from qualitative interviews with sector stakeholders

Abstract

We conducted interviews with 37 people who have high-level knowledge of the operation of the NDIS and supports for people with serious mental illness outside of the NDIS. We specifically asked all interview participants about foundational supports, including general perceptions of the concept and what they would ideally include. These data are not comprehensive in that they only include the perspectives of the interviewees that self-selected to participate in the study however they do provide a snapshot of the main concerns and interests of people who understand the current situation with regard to NDIS supports and related gaps.
