We work closely with 27 Disability Representative and Carer Organisations (DRCOs).
These DRCO’s work closely with the NDIA on reforms, changes and improvements to the NDIS.
They were selected for a number of reasons including their:
- Significant involvement in the formation of the NDIS and National Disability Strategy and contribution to the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disability.
- Extensive knowledge on specific policies that affect people with a disability and expertise in accessible consultation and person-centred engagement.
- Strong established connections to large networks of people with a disability across Australia.
The DRCO Forum meets quarterly to discuss Scheme improvements and experiences of participants across Australia.
Members of the DRCO take part in co-design with the NDIA, working with NDIA staff, NDIS participants and members of the Independent Advisory Council (IAC)
