NDIS Draft Legislation

Yesterday saw the release of draft legislation for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

The NDIS Bill creates the framework for a national scheme, including eligibility criteria, age requirements, and what constitutes reasonable and necessary support.

This will enable the scheme to be launched in five sites across Australia from July 2013.

The Bill will be introduced into the Australian Parliament this week, and will be voted on in time for the NDIS launch from July 2013. 

To find out more and to view an overview of the Bill in a number of accessible formats, vist:
