NDIS Housing & SDA Housing Improvements by NDIA CEO
NDIA CEO - Improving the NDIS Housing
Martin Hoffman, NDIA CEO, has released an open letter to all participants, their families and carers.
The letter addresses some of the more recent changes including the ‘NDIS Participant Service Charter‘ and the ‘Service Improvement Plan‘. Mr Hoffman has also provided information regarding the introduction of independent assessments and how independent assessments will work.
In short, independent assessments will be conducted by an assessor from a newly created panel including health professionals such as occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech pathologists, clinical and registered psychologists, rehabilitation counsellors and social workers who will work at arm’s length from the NDIA. The assessor is chosen by the participant and all assessments can be reviewed or appealed if the participant does not agree with the panels decision.
Independent assessments give a simpler, faster and fairer basis for making decisions about access to the NDIS and plans.
