National Disability Insurance Scheme Update

Blind Citizens Australia have been very active in our provision of consumer advice to the Federal Government on the consumer needs of people who are blind or vision impaired in the proposed National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).  

Blind Citizens Australia have made submissions on:

1. what should be considered reasonable and necessary supports,
2. the draft NDIS Bill
3. a submission on the level of government regulation needed to ensure that people who are blind or vision impaired can access the services they need when they need them, with the maximum amount of choice and flexibility.

Blind Citizens Australia has responded to four of the NDIS rules relating to:
becoming a participant
supports for participants
plan management
registered providers of support as well as the NDIS Rules consultation paper.

 Blind Citizens Australia will be continuing to provide input where we can to the continued development of the NDIS.

To keep up to date on the development of the NDIS, visit www.ndis.gov.au which is the official website of the Federal Government or visit the National Disability and Carer Alliance website. The National Disability and Carer Alliance are working closely with government to inform the continued development of the NDIS.
