The NDIS Review recommended a different approach to planning to deliver better and fairer outcomes for NDIS participants.
This included the development of a new way to gather information about the support people need to inform their NDIS Budget.
The Review said that this approach will be better and fairer for participants and their families, because they will:
- no longer need to source their own reports and provide evidence that they need a range of supports, which imposes costs and time burdens
- have more equitable and fair budgets, reflecting individual support needs
- have more flexibility in their plan to determine their preferred support arrangements.
The NDIA is working to design and test a new way of gathering information about the support people with disability need and to set their NDIS budgets.
Today the NDIA has released:
- an approach to market (via a Request for Tender) for support need assessment tools for adults (16 years and over)
