The NDIS Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024 has raised significant concerns for CYDA and other Disability Representative Organisations (DROs). The Bill fails to adequately address vital recommendations from the NDIS Review or include people with disability through meaningful co-design. It has the potential to increase the difficulty involved in accessing support and to disproportionately affect individuals who lack support networks through expanded powers granted to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). This joint submission explores how the proposed changes could hinder access to essential services. What's needed is a revised approach that integrates the voices of those directly impacted to create a fair, effective, and sustainable NDIS.

Devinder Singh, B.Eng, MBA. is the moderator of this panel discussion, and Drew Beswick is one of the panelist who discusses, his extensive experience across states and housing, delving into the complex ecosystem of supports and the challenges of dealing with multiple government departments. They address a critical question regarding whether the term "NDIS" (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is a panacea for all issues. He highlights unintended consequences, noting a retreat from regular services in various sectors like health, justice, and mental health. The NDIS, intended as a supplement, has become the primary source of support for many, contrary to initial intentions. They also discuss foundational supports available to everyone with a disability, whether or not they become NDIS participants. The structural changes mentioned are deemed crucial for fostering inclusivity and ending segregation, aligning with the aspirations of the Disability Royal Commission (DRC). He recognizes the political complexities involved, emphasizing the necessity for collaboration between the Commonwealth and the States. The varied bilateral arrangements, phasings, and timelines across different jurisdictions require a collective resolve to advance the inclusive agenda.

Director of Specialist Behaviour. Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and Specialist Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner. Lived experience consultant in trauma, disability, and restrictive practices.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission has issued a statement in response to the Boland Report on Irabina. In it, the QSC apologises to the children and families harmed and confirms it is actively investigating Irabina “with a view to determining what further regulatory action should be taken against the provider and its former key personnel”. Please share any thoughts or feelings you have about this or the Boland Review Report on Irabina in the comments. #ndis #ndisprovider #aba #pbs #positivebehavioursupport #specialistbehaviour #disabilityrights #humanrights
Statement from the NDIS Quality and Safeguards in response to The Boland Review Report on Irabina: “The NDIS Commission accepts the findings of the Independent Report and acknowledges that its handling of matters has not always met community expectations. Its immature system, processes and under-resourcing during its establishment years led to a fragmented approach to regulating providers that adversely impacted people with disability, their families and their carers who accessed NDIS funded services through Irabina from 2019-2022. The practices at Irabina, particularly within the Severe Behaviour Support Program, constituted breaches of the NDIS Act and associated Rules. The NDIS Commission recognises the harm experienced as a result of Irabina’s use of prohibited restrictive practices and restrictive practices. We apologise to people with disability, their families and their carers who accessed Irabina’s behaviour support services during this period for the systemic factors that – despite the best efforts of individual NDIS Commission staff at the time – let people with disability down. The NDIS Commission is actively investigating Irabina, with a view to determining what further regulatory action should be taken against the provider and its former key personnel”.
