NewsHave your say about the NDIS law
Two years ago a new law was made, called the NDIS Act 2013. This law has rules and instructions in it about how the NDIS should work. The Government thinks it is a good idea to look back on the Act now to see if it can be made better. They have asked independent legal experts at Ernst & Young to talk to people and hear their thoughts. This is a very good opportunity for you to have a say. You might be able think of things that are important, that could help you and other people when they use the NDIS.
Over the next few weeks, Ernst & Young will be meeting with people and talking about the NDIS laws. They are also asking people to write to them and tell them what they think. See this page from the NDIS website to find out more.
There is a great Easy English document here (pdf) which explains all of this very clearly. It gives you some good example questions to think about, and explains what the NDIS and NDIS laws are in an easy to understand way.
