Summary

Edit

The majority voted against amendments introduced by the Australian Greens, which means they failed. The amendments related to the variation of participant's plans, various oversight measures and procedural fairness.

What does this bill do?

According to the bill homepage, the bill was introduced to:

  • establish the Participant Service Guarantee to provide timeframes and engagement principles for how the National Disability Insurance Agency undertakes key administrative processes;
  • enable participant’s plans to be varied without requiring a full plan review;
  • amend the objects and principles of the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013;
  • clarify the eligibility criteria for people with psychosocial disability;
  • streamline certain administrative processes for participants; and
  • provide clarity in relation to decisions about plan management requests and extend the risk assessment process for self-management of funding to those using registered plan management providers.
