This final report of the Independent Review into the National Disability Insurance Scheme makes 26 recommendations with 139 supporting actions. The recommendations provide a blueprint to renew the promise of the NDIS to deliver a more accessible and inclusive Australia.

This report summarises findings and insights from research undertaken by PWDA between March and May 2023. The research, which comprised surveys of people with disability in Australia, was designed to better understand people’s experiences with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

Ten years ago, people with disability, their families and the organisations supporting them came together to fight for the creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). This report outlines what the NDIS Review has heard so far.

The NDIS was established to empower participants to engage directly with their chosen providers on what services they receive, and what price they would pay. The NDIS market, however, is not yet working for all participants, and this paper provides findings to improve NDIS pricing arrangements and seeks feedback for problematic areas.

Within the next three years to June 2025, an additional 128,000 workers will be needed to fully meet demand. This issues paper examines the efforts needed to improve worker attraction and retention in the NDIS.
