The next quartlery luncheon will be held on 21st March at our new venue - RACA, Macquarie Street.
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) was launched across six trial sites in July 2013 — two years after the Productivity Commission recommended its introduction. It has received bipartisan support at all levels of government for its recommendations to address what the Productivity Commission described as an underfunded, unfair, fragmented and inefficient disability support system. It is currently anticipated that the NDIS will be implemented through most of Australia by 2019, providing cover for the reasonable and necessary care and support for severely and profoundly disabled Australians. This talk will give an overview of the background and structure of the NDIS as well as discussing how the reforms may impact on insurers.
