The government is proposing changes to the NDIS through the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024.
We want to hear your views on the Bill and proposed changes.
Your feedback will help shape People with Disability Australia’s (PWDA) response to the Bill and submission to the Committee’s inquiry.
People with Disability Australia (PWDA) has called the Senate’s Community Affairs Legislative Committee’s recommendation to pass the NDIS Amendment Bill ill-advised.
Last week President Marayke Jonkers presented evidence at the Senate Committe Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024.
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.
People with Disability Australia has provided feedback the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee’s Inquiry into the NDIS Amendment (Getting the
NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024.
The Federal Budget has delivered welcome cost of living relief but has missed the mark on the systemic reform we need to support people with disability fully participating in the community.
This submission addresses PWDA’s concerns relating to the design and implementation of a registration scheme for all NDIS workers and providers.
Major reforms to the National Disability Insurance (NDIS) have been introduced to parliament today by Minister for the NDIS Bill Shorten. People with Disability Australia (PWDA) have responded with a call for genuine co-design to refine the legislation to ensure the reforms reflect the needs of the people they’re designed for.
As we enter the 2024-2025 financial year, significant disability reform will need to commence with the Australian Government as well as state and territory governments, implementing agreed recommendations from both reform processes. Implementing recommendations will take years, and if done ‘right’, these reforms will have a lasting positive impact on people with disability, their families, friends and communities. However, this is no simple task, and it will take time and resources.
Born out of the dire need to address the shortcomings of the existing support system, the NDIS has emerged as a lifeline for millions, offering a pathway to independence, dignity, and a better quality of life.
