A domestic violence prevention group fears the proposed model of National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) independent assessments could result in survivors being re-traumatised and placed at “imminent risk of harm”.
The assessments, which have been put on hold amid a sector-wide backlash, would see participants outsourced to a single contracted assessor they do not know to determine their eligibility for the NDIS, and the level of support they receive.
New NDIS Minister Linda Reynolds has said the assessments are designed to provide people with disability with "true choice and control over a flexible support package to achieve their goals".
