A bipartisan parliamentary committee has called for “urgent action” into the National Disability Insurance Scheme in an interim planning report.

The report outlines 14 recommendations, several of which focus on NDIS planning timelines and the participant’s involvement in the drafting process. It also calls for extra training for NDIA staff, to increase their awareness and familiarity with all types of disability.

But for many disability advocates and people with disability, the recommendations don’t go far enough.
