Consultation opens on NDIS reforms

Published 16th September 2021

Public feedback is now invited on draft legislation to deliver a better experience for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants.

Improved participant experience is at the centre of the reforms, which includes legislating the Participant Service Guarantee and implementing key recommendations of the Independent Review of the NDIS Act.

The proposed changes also include:

• Making lived experience of disability one among a number of important considerations for membership of the NDIA Board;
• Updating the principles of the Act, to reflect the importance of co-design with people with disability.

Feedback on the draft legislation is open on the DSS Engage website.

Submissions close at midnight (EST) on October 7, 2021.
