The National Disability Insurance Agency has taken a major step towards creating a simpler, fairer pathway for NDIS Participants to access the disability supports they need.

The National Disability Insurance Agency will review the design standards of Specialist Disability Accommodation SDA so that thousands of Australians with disability continue to access the safest, and highest-quality homes possible.

Art and music therapies will continue to be available to people with disability under the NDIS where there is evidence it will provide beneficial outcomes.

A former NDIS provider has been sentenced after a Fraud Fusion Taskforce investigation revealed proof that the provider had solicited participant data from an NDIA staff member.

The NDIA has completed a review of policies and practices concerning NDIS debt and will repay some money to participants and providers. A debt can come about when a NDIS payment is made to a person or organisation not entitled to the payment.

NDIS providers of therapy supports, supported independent living, and support coordination will share in more than $45 million in funding as part of a program designed to support quality providers of disability services.
