NDIS participants, providers and the wider disability community are invited to have their say on NDIS pricing, as part of consultation for the 2025-26 Annual Pricing Review.

NDIA CEO Rebecca Falkingham is currently on personal leave due to illness. The NDIA Board has appointed Scott McNaughton as acting CEO in line with standard Commonwealth Public Service processes to ensure the continued day to day operation of the NDIS and delivery of work to progress the Government NDIS reform agenda.

Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) the Hon. Bill Shorten has marked NAIDOC Week by acknowledging the importance First Nations participants play in the future of the Scheme.

The Australian Government is taking action against some unscrupulous providers who are exploiting the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) by encouraging thousands of participants to spend their NDIS funding too quickly and on non-disability supports. This week, the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission have taken the initiative to write to plan managers and support coordinators who support NDIS participants, reminding them of their obligations. Earlier this month, both the Federal Budget and the NDIA’s Quarterly Report showed that intra plan inflation was a major cause of growth in the Scheme. NDIS Minister Bill Shorten said the letter to plan managers also reflects anonymised data matching between 900 NDIS plan manager ABNs and the ATO, which showed that 343 of those ABNs would have failed a statement of tax record at the time.
