A new parliamentary petition (EN8570) is calling for an NDIS Joint Standing Committee Inquiry into the proposed NDIS Support Needs Assessment process.
The petition calls for Parliament to properly investigate and consult on:
The validity and reliability of the assessment tools chosen for the new assessment (including modifications to the tool);
How assessors are selected and qualified;
The process used to generate support budgets;
Safeguards for risk, appeals, and psychological wellbeing; and
The transparency, ethics, and cost modelling behind this major reform.

This is the biggest change to NDIS planning in over a decade - and it must be done right.
Before any rollout, the proposed Support Needs Assessment and budget process must be independently reviewed, tested, and proven to be fair and effective.
🖋️ Add your name to the petition and help call for proper scrutiny and consultation:
👉 https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN8570
Because every person with disability deserves an NDIS that listens, learns, and gets it right.
