This is extremely important to share.
NDIS is seeking to implement changes that allow them to not have to consider supplied evidence from a person’s team. The paediatrician letters, OT reports, speech letters, they won’t have to be taken into account. This allows them to make decisions based on their own internal metrics, regardless of whether it accurately represents true capacity or needs. There’s no crystal ball required to know how this is going to play out.
Sign and share far and wide.
⚖️ Help protect fair NDIS assessments
Recent changes to NDIS legislation mean the NDIA no longer has to consider the evidence you provide - like your own written account, and reports from your OT, psychologist, or GP.
Instead, decisions will be based on internal assessments that might not reflect your real-world needs.
This petition asks Parliament to change Section 32L so that participant medical reports are taken into consideration during NDIS needs assessments.
