We sincerely thank everyone who gave us feedback on the three consultation papers explaining proposed changes to the NDIS. You are helping us deliver a better and fairer experience for all people with disability accessing the NDIS and participants already in the Scheme.
We have reviewed your submissions and prepared post-consultation reports.
These reports are an overview of the themes of your feedback.
In July 2021, the Commonwealth, state and territory disability ministers made the decision not to proceed with the introduction of independent assessments. Information about independent assessments has been archived.
