National Disability Insurance Scheme: citizens’ jury decides whether the billions are being well spent
Sixteen randomly-selected trial participants have given their evidence to a citizens’ jury of 12 people in a three-day hearing in Sydney organised by People with Disability Australia.
President of PWDA Craig Wallace said the citizen’s jury would give a voice to the very people the NDIS was designed to help.
“Up until now the NDIS has been reviewed, evaluated and critiqued by a parliamentary committee, by consultants, academics and to some extent in the public domain through the media,” he said.
