Abstract
The National Disability Insurance Scheme introduced to Australia in 2013 is a
national system that shifts the locus of control and decision making to people with
disabilities. It affirms the dignity of people with disabilities and aims to provide
responsive personal services.
Personalism philosophy accentuates the importance of persons and regard personhood
as the ultimate expression of meaning. People are by nature relational and indelibly
etched in this framework is an infinite reverence for each person.
Personalism is used to critically assess the NDIS; it reveals deficiencies in the
interrelationship between theory and practice, action and reflection, self and
community.
