The Australian Government is making it easier for eligible NDIS participants to access high quality housing following a range of reforms to build confidence in the Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) market.

The Australian Government is supporting Western Australians with disability with today’s announcement of grants to enable the growth of the NDIS workforce.

Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Stuart Robert, today announced the first group of projects to receive funding to encourage NDIS market and workforce growth – helping to deliver the world-leading scheme.

The NDIA has released the results of one of the largest surveys of people with disability, their families and carers in Australian history – showing the NDIS has significantly improved people’s day-to-day lives.

The Australian Government, through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), is investing $19.6 million to fund innovative projects that will provide greater opportunity for people with disability to participate in work. Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, Stuart Robert, said 64 organisations will receive funding through the Economic Participation of People with Disability grants, as part of the Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program.

The first round of NDIS data has been released as part of the Australian Government’s commitment to demonstrate full transparency of the NDIS.
