Improving the NDIS for people with disability
Improving the NDIS for people with disability
The Australian Government is currently making changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), with the aim of improving the scheme for all participants, their families, and carers.
Informing those reviews are the Disability Royal Commission, completed in late 2023 and the NDIS review, completed in late 2024.
The NDIS review and the Disability Royal Commission are two important initiatives aimed at enhancing the lives of individuals with disability.
The overarching purpose of these initiatives is to identify shortcomings, recommend improvements, and ultimately foster a more inclusive, respectful, and supportive society for all individuals with disability.
The Department of Social Services has released the Disability Reform Roadmap for 2024-2025, which highlights the key actions all governments will take in 2024 and 2025, and when, to build the foundations and deliver on commitments for the disability and NDIS reform agenda.
