The federal government has announced a significant $1 billion investment aimed at redesigning the NDIS assessment process. This decision follows extensive advocacy from NDIS groups and agencies, highlighting the need for a more efficient and participant-friendly system.

What Does This Mean?

The funding is set to streamline assessments, reduce waiting times, and enhance the overall experience for participants. With the addition of 1000 new staff dedicated to assessments, the process is expected to become more efficient, ensuring that participants receive the support they need more swiftly.

Our Perspective

At Pink Ribbon Community Supports Australia, we welcome this initiative with open arms. We believe that these changes will lead to higher quality programs and supports for our participants, allowing them to achieve their goals with greater ease and confidence.

Looking Ahead

This investment is a positive step toward a more inclusive and supportive NDIS. We are hopeful that it will pave the way for continued improvements in the system, benefiting all who rely on these essential services.
