NDA paper on outcomes for disability services

May 2016

The Department of Health asked the NDA to assist in producing a draft framework for outcomes measurement for the proposed model of person-centred disability services. The paper builds on and extends previous work the NDA had done in reviewing models of outcome measurement in other jurisdictions. It presents nine high level outcomes for disability services drawing on the literature on outcomes, the UNCRPD, practice in other jurisdictions and consultation with people with disabilities who saw these outcomes as being critical for their quality of life and wellbeing.
