“…Subsequently, in legislation, policy and practice, focus on the nature of supports to decision making has encompassed both formal and informal mechanisms (Kokanović et al., 2018). In the context of people with psychosocial disability in Australia, these have included advance statements, peer support and legal recognition of supported decision making (Brophy, 2020; Brophy et al., n.d).…”

“…(2012) emphasise five inter‐locking processes of recovery, commencing with “empowerment and reclaiming control over one's life” (p. 445). As with the human rights approach, the recovery paradigm also aligns with a focus on supported decision making practices (Kokanović et al., 2018; Brophy, 2020) to support choice and autonomy for people with a mental health condition.…”

The aim of this paper is to inform the design of individualised funding schemes via an examination of discourses and experiences of choice related to people with psychosocial disability. Mind Australia, in partnership with Deakin University, interviewed 22 individuals with psychosocial disability who are recipients of individual funding packages in three National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) trial sites across Australia. This research involved examining the policy and assumptions of choice under the NDIS, as well as the experience of undertaking choice through individualised funding arrangements which position people with psychosocial disability as consumers in a market place of service provision. The findings demonstrate that choice is an ongoing activity and that at every stage personal, programmatic and market barriers impact individuals’ capacity to maximise choice. The intent of government policy to provide choice to individual funding recipients based on an optimally functioning market place with empowered self‐actualising individuals collides with a complex reality where barriers abound at every stage of the choice making process. Enhancing choice making of people with psychosocial disability within the NDIS requires governments and services to explicitly address the personal, programmatic and market‐based barriers to choice.
