⚖️ 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.
🖊️ Sign the petition:
EN7545 – Allow NDIS participants to submit their own professional reports
https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN7545
📩 Don’t forget to confirm your signature by email.

[Image description: A clipboard with a sheet of paper and a pen resting on the side. The text on the paper reads: "Sign the Petition: Allow NDIS participants to submit their medical reports." Below that, a red circle highlights the text: "Closing date for signatures is 24 September." The Every Australian Counts logo appears at the bottom.]
