The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is responsible for providing funded supports to people with disability who meet the access criteria for the scheme.
The Tasmanian Government works with the Australian Government on the NDIS by:
- co-funding the NDIS
- monitoring and informing the policy and regulatory context of the NDIS
- working with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission.
Since October 2024, the Australian Government has implemented changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Act.
Review of the NDIS
The review of the NDIS looked into the design and operations of the NDIS with a view to making sure it is sustainable into the future. The final report into the NDIS made 26 recommendations, and 139 actions aimed at improving trust in the NDIS and improving the experience for participants.
