Disability advocates and groups are urging the federal government to listen to criticisms of its legislation changing the National Disability Insurance Scheme, and make further amendments to its “NDIS back on track” bill.
Among the changes before the parliament are moves to define what constitutes NDIS support, expand the powers of the NDIS quality and safeguards commissioner, implement comprehensive needs assessments, and move away from admissions to the scheme solely based on diagnosis.
