NDIS National Quality and Safeguards Framework
Public Consultation: A quality and safeguarding framework is being developed for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Australian governments are looking at ways to make sure that the national scheme will provide good quality supports and will maximise the choice and control of participants. It will also be important that the rights of people are protected and participants are safe from harm.
The national public consultation is now open. The consultation is an invitation for anyone who is interested to provide comment. Visit engage.dss.gov.au for further details. The closing date for submissions and other contributions is 30 April 2015.
