Hello Participant
We don't have any new feedback opportunities for you in this newsletter, but we are working hard to bring you new opportunities in the coming weeks.
Proposed NDIS legislation introduced to Parliament
The NDIA Participant Reference Group have now met with the NDIA CEO and Deputy CEO twice. Members talked about the concerns they, and their communities, have with the proposed legislation.
The proposed legislation, and public submissions, are currently being considered by the Community Affairs Legislation Committee. Public submissions to this Committee are open until 17 May 2024.
