Recent consultations

The consultation on Interventions for children on the autism spectrum closed at 10am AEST on Friday 14 May 2021. We will publish a post-consultation report after we have read through the submissions.

You said we heard: post-consultation reports

You can read the feedback on the three consultation papers on changes to the NDIS: 

• Access and Eligibility policy with independent assessments
• Planning policy for personalised budgets and plan flexibility
• Supporting young children and their families early, to reach their full potential.

See the We listened page for more reports on recent NDIS consultations.

Consultation submissions

We want to thank the community for their recent submissions and feedback on the proposed reforms to ensure a fair and consistent NDIS.

We’ve heard from the public that they would like us to publish the submissions made during the recent consultation process on our website.

This notice is to invite organisations to give us permission to publish their submissions on our website in response to our consultation papers about:

• Access and eligibility policy with independent assessments
• Planning policy for personalised budgets and plan flexibility
• Supporting young children and their families early, to reach their full potential
• Interventions for children on the autism spectrum.

In order to do this, we need to ask your permission, and explain what we will be doing to protect the privacy of people involved in preparing the submission.

If you represent an organisation that recently made a submission to one of the consultation papers, we will email you to ask if you would like your submission published on the NDIS website. We have asked organisations to respond to us by 31 May 2021 for their submission to be published on the NDIS website, including providing the opportunity for a redacted version to be published.

We will not publish an organisation’s submission unless we receive written consent to do so.

Many of the submissions we received from individuals contained personal information. If you are an individual who has recently made a submission to one of our consultation papers, and would like your submission published on our website, please email [email protected] to discuss your situation. We will step you through what is needed to get your consent to publish your submission.

When we contact you

From time to time, the NDIA may contact participants, providers and stakeholders through phone calls, SMS, emails, letters or other accessible formats to seek feedback on their experience with the Scheme.

Check the list below to see what outreach the NDIA is doing. If you are contacted by the NDIA in relation to your plan, the caller will always explain who they are and confirm your identity over the phone. 

If you’re worried the call is a scam, you can visit Scamwatch.
