I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) Yes. It is
my understanding that the NDIS citizens' jury has been formed by People
with Disability Australia independently of the National Disability Insurance
Agency, and that the intent is to capture feedback from participants who have
experience of the scheme, and not specifically from individuals who have been
found to be ineligible.
(2) No.
However, if PWDA wishes to extend the initiative to Western Australia, the input
would be welcome. The state government has already committed to an independent
evaluation of the two different NDIS models in Western Australia being
conducted throughout the two-year trial period. One of the key evaluation areas
will be to capture the experience of individuals who are participating in the
WA trials.
(3) People who
are assessed as ineligible have the opportunity to have the eligibility
determination reviewed and may appeal a decision with which they do not agree.
