The Disability Reform Council talked about the plans the National Disability Insurance Agency, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission, the Department of Social Services and the Department of Health are all making to ensure people get what they need.

At the meeting the Ministers agreed these things were the priority:

👉 Making sure people with disability have access to critical health services such as Telehealth and personal protective equipment

👉 Making sure NDIS participants get the services they need by increasing flexibility in the ways NDIS funds can be used

👉 Putting plans in place to make sure there are enough workers to support people

👉 Putting plans in place to make sure there are enough services for people

There is not more detail than that at the moment but we expect more in the coming days. We will get it to you as soon as it becomes available.
