With
the change of our Federal Government in 2013, DisabilityCare Australia has been
renamed the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) http://www.ndis.gov.au/
It
is the new national disability insurance scheme in Australia, and has been
running test sites in various areas in Australia.
The
test sites are raising some significant and important issues for clients and families
attempting to access services.
In addition
professionals, and specialist therapists are finding there are many and varied hurdles
and issues in the implementation of the NDIA.
At
the recent Heads of Government meeting in Canberra, the NDIA was discussed. Premiers
need to formally report back to the Federal Government at their next meeting in
February. Our professional associations,
support networks, and advocacy groups need to be letting their MP’s and the government
know what the first 6 months have been like.
What are the positive changes and what are the negative changes?
