Background
In May 2024, the Australian Government announced the establishment of the NDIS Reform Advisory Committee (the NDIS RAC) to monitor and advise on the implementation of reform to the NDIS. This includes:
- governments’ responses to the Independent Review into the NDIS (NDIS Review)
- NDIS-related recommendations from the Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability (Disability Royal Commission).
We are seeking nominations for representatives from the disability community to join the NDIS RAC through an open Expression of Interest (EOI) process.
Nominees may choose to be considered as a representative for their state or territory (one per jurisdiction), or as one of three community members appointed by the Commonwealth. Nominees may choose to be considered for both opportunities.
Successful candidates will be appointed to the NDIS RAC by the Commonwealth Minister for the NDIS, following consultation with the NDIS RAC Co-Chairs and states and territories. NDIS RAC members will be appointed in a private capacity, as representatives of any organisation.
Where nominees consent, applications made through this process may also be used to select people to participate in other relevant working groups, roundtables or focus groups.
For more information and to support your application, please read the Background and Frequently Asked Questions.
