Consultation update on the new NDIS rules
The NDIA undertook 10 targeted consultation sessions with over 90 external stakeholders to inform the new rules and their implementation.
The Agency has sought feedback on:
- Plan management and unreasonable risk (s44(3)
- Plan variations S47A
- Plan reassessments s48
Here is some information about what we heard through the consultation, and how this information is shaping the development of new rules.

Co-designing reform
The Australian Government has outlined reforms to the NDIS that will ensure a better experience for participants and make sure the Scheme is there for the future.
The NDIA is committed to working in partnership with people with disability, their families, advocates, and the broader disability community to build a stronger National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
In June 2024, we released the shared statement on co-design, in partnership with the Department of Social Services (DSS), NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission (Q&SC), Independent Advisory Council (IAC) and Disability Representative and Carer Organisations (DRCOs).
Participate
The NDIA and DRCOs communicate opportunities to get involved in co-design working groups and other opportunities.
The NDIA publishes opportunities to get involved in co-design and engagement at Have Your Say.
Co-design and feedback opportunities are also advertised through the NDIA Participant First Engagement Initiative.
Through initiatives like Participant First, you can help us make the NDIS stronger.
Participants, family members and carers will be paid for participating in accordance with our Participant Engagement Payment Policy.
DRCOs advertise NDIS co-design and engagement opportunities through their own channels.
