Understanding consent - fact sheet
Consent is a record of the permission you have given.
If you’re 18 or older, you have the right to make decisions about your business with the NDIS. That’s why the NDIS needs a record of your consent before they share your information with anyone else or let someone else do things for you.
This fact sheet will explain:
- what consent is
- what you can give consent for
- how you can give consent
- how you can change or take away consent.
