Deputy Chair of the ACCC, Delia Rickard said the rollout of the NDIS was one of the biggest policy reforms in generations that would affect more than 460,000 Australians with disability.

“The NDIS provides many consumers with disability the opportunity to exercise choice and the power to make purchasing decisions for the first time in relation to their disability needs,” Ms Rickard said.

“The ACCC is warning new and existing businesses that they must comply with their obligations under the Competition and Consumer Act, which includes the Australian Consumer Law.”

She said that during the NDIS rollout, she expected to see a range of new entrants in the market, which was good for competition.
