ONLINE EVENT
Tomorrow (Wednesday 27th November 2024) 11am-12pm AEDT, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission will be hosting an online Ministerial Town Hall event on Bill No. 2 Consultations.
This is an opportunity for you to hear directly from the Minister for the NDIS, the Honourable Bill Shorten, who will be joined by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commissioner Louise Glanville and Associate Commissioner Natalie Wade.
The reforms are focused on address emerging and long-standing issues of quality and safety within the National Disability Insurance Scheme, with the townhall discussing these changes with the community and getting feedback.
The Disability Royal Commission’s Final Report highlighted the quality and safeguarding challenges that still exist for people with disability in the Australian community. NDIS participants, their supporters and the broader community need a regulator with stronger powers to increase the safety and quality of NDIS services and supports.
In response, the Minister for the NDIS National Disability Insurance Scheme and Government Services Bill Shorten MP announced the second part of legislative reform for the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (NDIS Act) to be introduced through the NDIS Amendment (Getting it Back on Track No. 2) Bill (Bill No.2).
Proposed quality and safeguarding measures will amend the NDIS Act to strengthen the monitoring and compliance powers of the NDIS Commission and introduce stronger information gathering and banning powers.
