David Tune AO PSM has been appointed to conduct a review of NDIS legislation and rules, which in turn will inform the development of the Morrison Government’s promised NDIS Participant Service Guarantee. Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Stuart Robert, said the review of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 will focus on streamlining NDIS processes.

Participants, their families and carers may be contacted to participate in a survey during August and September 2019 to help identify the types of supports that lead to good outcomes for participants, and to improve the NDIS.

Over the coming weeks, the NDIA is making changes to the NDIS myplace portal to improve the process where there may be a gap between new and old participant plans.

The new enhancement will allow you to follow and track the progress of a quote, including viewing the status of a quote. The enhancements are a part of the NDIA’s commitment to delivering a high-quality Scheme, and improving the online experience for participants.

The NDIA is looking to invest almost $400m in inclusion programs across the nation over the next three years. In August and September, we will open three Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) grant rounds and we are running a webinar on Thursday 1 August to help organisations get their ILC pitch right.

The NDIS myplace participant portal is currently unavailable due to issues with the mygov platform.
