Make a submission

This submission process will inform the approach to measuring, monitoring and reporting of the effectiveness of the new National Disability Strategy (NDS) and the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

If you complete the guided questionnaire, there are eight questions which seek your feedback on Improving outcomes for people with disability under the National Disability Strategy and the National Disability Insurance Scheme introductory paper (the introductory paper). The introductory paper builds on feedback we have received through previous consultations on the National Disability Strategy, as well as good practice examples of outcomes measurement tools and frameworks.

To complete the online guided questionnaire on the introductory paper please use the link below. The guided questionnaire is also available in Easy Read ( PDF [4.6 MB] | DOCS [47 kB] )
