The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) ran a survey asking for feedback on self-managing. They used the findings to create a new NDIS Self-Management Policy. This policy aims to help more people with a disability to self-manage.
Let's take a look at what they found out.

Many people gave feedback, including those who self-manage and those without experience in this area.
Participants said their biggest challenges with self-management included:
budget tracking
