Australian Government response to the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme progress report: General issues around the implementation and performance of the NDIS
The Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme progress report: General issues around the implementation and performance of the NDIS covers events from 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2018, and provides an overview of activities relating to National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) implementation, performance and governance, as well as outlining the Committee’s activities during the period. The progress report explores issues raised in evidence and considers potential future areas of the inquiry. The second progress report of the committee was released in March 2019.
The 2019 progress report has made 18 recommendations to the NDIA which focus on participant experience, transitional arrangements, disability workforce and NDIA engagement with the disability sector.
The Australian Government recognises the ongoing work of the Committee in reviewing the national implementation of the scheme and welcomes the opportunity to address issues to ensure the NDIS is rolled out effectively and sustainably.
