2SER interview: Parliamentary inquiry into the capability and culture of the NDIA

A Federal Parliamentary Committee is holding an inquiry into the capability and culture of the NDIA, the agency responsible for overseeing the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

Over half a million Australians rely on the NDIS for support. But many of those people are reporting difficulties in dealing with the NDIA and getting access to the funding they’re entitled to.

PIAC Senior Solicitor explains what needs to change at the NDIA, so it better supports the people it was set up to help.
