Psychologists concerned about proposed changes to NDIS assessments
Australia’s peak body for psychologists has welcomed the Federal Government’s decision to pause the roll-out of mandatory independent assessments for National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) participants.
The Australian Psychological Society (APS) has raised (link to submission) serious concerns with the proposed workforce and assessment criteria, warning it may adversely affect critical decisions regarding the welfare of NDIS participants.
The proposed changes, announced in August 2020 by former NDIS Minister Stuart Robert, were set to begin mid-2021. They would require NDIS participants to undergo an assessment with a government-contracted, independent allied health professional. Currently, the motivation for the introduction of the independent assessments process, and its intended outcomes, is unclear.
