Submission on the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Participant Service Guarantee and Other Measures) Bill 2021 (pdf)

This submission concerns the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Participant Service Guarantee and Other Measures) Bill 2021, which was introduced to Parliament on 28 October 2021. Our submission raises concerns about the continuing expansion of rule-making powers and discretionary powers for the CEO, which give the CEO and Minister unnecessary powers.

We also address specific proposals around:

plan variation and plan reassessment;
access and eligibility requirements;
changes to the payment of supports; and
changes around the provision of reasons for decisions.

Read our submission in relation to the exposure draft of this Bill and the associated Rules.
