The Minister for the NDIS Stuart Robert wants to introduce compulsory assessments for all new and existing NDIS participants from next year.

These tick-a-box assessments will determine who gets support from the NDIS – and how much support they get.

These assessments are the biggest change to the NDIS since the scheme began. And they are being rushed in without proper testing and evaluation. And in spite of the concerns of people with disability and their families.

So it’s time to let every single Federal MP know what our concerns are. And what we want them to do about it.

Just follow these simple steps

Use the form on this page to write to your local MP. Tell them why you are so concerned about these new assessments.

Add your details in the yellow form on this page.
It will find your MP for you.
Insert your message in the space provided – you can write your own or use the one we’ve already put together.
If you use the email we’ve provided, don’t forget to add your details. Make sure you edit the text in all of the square brackets.
It’s really important your MP hears your experiences and why it won’t work for you.
Hit send.

Thank you!

Don’t forget to let us know if you hear back from your MP. We’d love to hear what they say.

Call or meet with your local MP

It’s also good to call your local MP and speak to them over the phone. You can get their phone number from the Parliament website.

You can also ask to meet your MP in person. If you’re a bit nervous don’t worry – we have a handy guide which has everything you need to make sure the meeting goes smoothly.

We know the issue of assessments is complicated and confusing. Don’t worry – your MP won’t expect you to be an expert. You just have to talk about why the assessments won’t work for you. But we have also created a cheat sheet about NDIS assessments that you can leave behind with your MP if they want to know more.

Email the Minister for the NDIS Stuart Robert

And if you haven’t already done so, you can email the Minister for the NDIS and ask him some simple questions.
