We’d like to hear from you about the changes we’re making to ensure the NDIS is simpler, faster, fairer and more flexible. You can have your say on how we deliver these improvements so that they work for everyone. 

Your feedback is important to us. 

Open submissions

Home and Living consultation – An ordinary life at home 

We are developing a new Home and Living policy that will inform the way we support NDIS participants to pursue their home and living goals.

We want to give participants more choice and control over where they live, who they live with and the supports they use. We also want to support participants to build the skills they need to live independently. 

Read our consultation paper and have your say today.

Support for Decision Making consultation 

We are developing a new Support for Decision Making policy that will maximise opportunities for participants to make decisions about how they live their lives.

Support for decision making promotes self-determination, control and autonomy. It builds and encourages independence.

Consultation submissions

We want to thank the community for their recent submissions and feedback on the proposed reforms to ensure a fair and consistent NDIS.

We’ve heard from the public that they would like us to publish the submissions made during the recent consultation process on our website.

We have recently published more than 120 submissions which were received as part of the recent consultations on:

• Access and eligibility policy with independent assessments
• Planning policy for personalised budgets and plan flexibility
• Supporting young children and their families early, to reach their full potential
• Interventions for children on the autism spectrum.

We contacted organisations, to see if they would provide permission for us to publish their responses to our consultation papers.

There is also an open invitation to everyone who made a submission recently and would like us to publish it on our website to contact us to discuss publishing your submission. People who provided a submission can email [email protected] to find out more.

When we contact you

From time to time, the NDIA may contact participants, providers and stakeholders through phone calls, SMS, emails, letters or other accessible formats to seek feedback on their experience with the Scheme.

Check the list below to see what outreach the NDIA is doing. If you are contacted by the NDIA in relation to your plan, the caller will always explain who they are and confirm your identity over the phone. 

If you’re worried the call is a scam, you can visit Scamwatch.
