Carers Tasmania

NDIS consultations with Carers Tasmania

On 18 October 2022, The Minister for the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the Hon Bill Shorten MP, announced a review of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The purpose of the review is to hear feedback about how the NDIS supports people with disability. Feedback can be about anything related to the NDIS, such as plans and funding, the performance of local area co-ordinators, access to services, co-ordination of support, scheme access or implementing plans. The Review Panel wants to hear from people with disability and carers from all walks of life, location and circumstances.

You may care for someone in the scheme or know someone who is. Feedback is vital for the Review Panel to hear all opinions and experiences. Carers Tasmania is preparing a response to be submitted in late April.
