The Evolving Landscape of the NDIS: An Overview of the Current State of the Disability Sector
This article will delve into the key stakeholders, current challenges, funding and support mechanisms, provider roles, participant experiences, and the future of the NDIS. The disability sector in Australia has undergone significant disruption and change since I started working in the sector 12 years ago largely driven by the implementation of the NDIS. In that period I have worked in the WA state government Disability Service Commission (DSC) block funding model, worked as a Local Coordinator in the WA NDIS (WA’s own version of the NDIS) and finally within the national NDIS model and its subsequent iterations.
