The Australian Government established the NDIS Provider and Worker Registration Taskforce (the Taskforce) in February 2024. Its role was to provide expert advice on the design and implementation of a new graduated risk-proportionate regulatory model.
The Taskforce released advice on 2 August 2024.
Consultation on the Taskforce recommendations for participants who self-direct their own supports is now open. The focus is the implementation of Category C: Service for One/Self-Directed Support Registration.
Consultation paper: Standard and Easy Read versions of the consultation paper are available at Department of Social Services - Consultation on Self Directed Supports Registration.
The consultation paper asked for feedback on three areas:
- Definition of self-directed supports
- Proposed obligations for registered self-directed participants
- Support from the NDIS Commission
Consultation closed on 7 February 2025, 2pm AEDT.
