NDIS Reforms Spark Concerns of 'Robo-Planning'
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is undergoing new reforms, drawing parallels to a contentious plan from the past. Starting mid-2026, a revised planning process will be implemented, following criticism from the Labor government and the disability community. The new process involves trained assessors using a questionnaire and assessment model, raising concerns of robo-planning and a weakened appeals process. Despite assurances of human approval, uncertainty persists, fueling anxiety among participants and advocacy groups. They demand transparency, especially regarding the appeals process and any automation, emphasizing the complexity of individual needs. Trust in the government remains low, with advocates arguing more time should have been spent ensuring these reforms truly benefit NDIS participants.
