The CEO of the NDIA sent a letter to all NDIS Participants on Tuesday. It was sent to Participants through the online portal, and it was also put up on the NDIS website. 

The letter was very long, and used a lot of terms that might be hard for people to understand. We've summarised what we think it means.

AFDO wrote a submission answering just some of the questions we thought were important.​ We said that we were very disappointed that the inquiry only looked at costs and did not look at what the NDIS was doing to help people with disability.​ We also said we should be looking at the difference the scheme is making to people with disability, and we said mainstream services need to do their part too.
