The Government is changing the legal definition of an “NDIS provider”. This has major implications for NDIS participants and our families.
This online workshop will explain what the consultation is about and seek your input on the proposed changes.
We will be joined by these guest speakers who are responsible for these changes.
From the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing:
- Natasha Shahidulallah – Assistant Secretary Quality and Safeguards Policy
- Peter Derrett – Director NDIS Regulation.
From the National Disability Insurance Scheme Quality and Safeguards Commission:
- Fran Cole – Director Disability Specialist and Policy Advice.
Importantly, this workshop is a chance for our community to raise concerns early, before settings are locked in. How “NDIS provider” is defined will influence which services and supports fall inside the regulated NDIS system, who must register, and what unregistered providers participants can continue to access.
What we will cover
- What the current definition of an NDIS provider is, and why it is being reviewed
- What the Government means by a risk-based approach to regulation
- Which types of supports may be included or excluded under a new definition
- What this could mean for choice and control, flexibility, and safeguards
- How individuals and organisations can have their say during the consultation.
The session will be a chance to:
✅ unpack what the proposed changes could mean for self-management and self-direction
✅ hear directly from you about what you like and don’t like, concerns, ideas, and unintended consequences that you want the government to consider
✅ have your say on these proposed changes.
Who should attend
- NDIS participants and family members
- People who self-manage or self-direct supports
- Anyone wanting to understand how this consultation could shape the future of the NDIS.
