People with Disability Australia (PWDA) has a national membership of people with disability. Many of our member were pivotal in establishing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
This report has been developed in the context of proposed changes to the NDIS, following the Independent Review of the NDIS. PWDA proudly presents the views of our members in this report.
This report explicitly responds to the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Exposure Draft of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No.1) Bill 2024 and the ongoing work of the NDIS Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce chaired by Ms Natalie Wade.
PWDA has extensively engaged with its national membership to help shape our responses. We surveyed our membership and received 259 responses, and through two dedicated membership consultations we also consulted with 61 people from the disability community. We trust the insights and information contained in this report provides further guidance in the ongoing conversations about the NDIS.

NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024.
