The NDIA has updated our public data, now current as at 30 June 2024.

The Australian Government is progressing a new registration system for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that will better support participants through stronger regulation of providers. The NDIS Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce (the Taskforce) recently provided advice to the Government on the design and implementation of a new regulatory model. The Taskforce, led by prominent human rights lawyer, Natalie Wade, was established in February 2024 to provide independent advice on the design and implementation of the new graduated risk-proportionate regulatory model proposed in the NDIS Review.

A recent series of early morning raids, payment locks and increased prosecutions on suspected fraudulent and criminal National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) providers is showing Labor’s crackdown on frauds and rorts is having big results.

Landmark legislation to reform the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) passed Parliament today, fulfilling the Australian Government’s commitment to legislate important changes called for by the Independent Review of the NDIS and the disability community. The National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No.1) Bill 2024 will improve the experience of NDIS participants and deliver decisions that are fairer, transparent and more consistent.

Today, 22 August 2024, the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024 was passed by the Parliament. The Bill provides the framework to deliver on the NDIS Review’s vision to restore the NDIS to its original intent and deliver better outcomes for Australians with permanent and significant disability within a broader ecosystem of supports.

The latest NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) Quarterly Report shows continued signs of cost stabilisation and better outcomes for participants, their families and carers, including more parents in paid jobs and more participants socialising and actively taking part in their communities.
