Inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) market in Queensland
The Commission has released the inquiry’s draft report. A summary report and a snapshot have also been released.
Public Hearings were held on 5 and 8 February 2021.
The draft report finds targeted reforms are needed for the NDIS to reach its full potential. It sets out 39 draft recommendations to:
- realign participant, provider and agency incentives
- increase the availability of information
- simplify processes and reduce the compliance burden
- provide greater flexibility and remove restrictions
- improve the governance of the scheme.
A video on the Draft report can be found on the Commission’s YouTube page.
