The NIR BLOG
Welcome to The NIR Open Library – The First Open-Source Support Coordination Hub
At NIR (Navigator In Reach), we believe in radical transparency, open access to information, and breaking down barriers in the NDIS. That’s why we’ve created the NIR Open Library—a one-stop hub where you can find everything from our policies and contracts to real client stories and practical NDIS resources.
Unlike traditional providers that keep information locked away, we freely share everything we do—so you can make informed decisions based on trust.
