The proposal would seek to outline a plan for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The proposal has 4 components.

• Component 1 would provide $15 million for a National Disability Research Partnership and consider continued support for a National Disability Data Asset to ensure future changes to the NDIS are based on proper evidence.
• Component 2 would double existing support for individual and systemic advocacy with an additional $10 million over four years to address systemic abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and support to navigate services. Labor will match additional funding for NDIS Appeals providers to cope with numbers of Administrative Appeals Tribunal cases.
• Component 3 would improve disability access in the community by ensuring there are enough ‘Changing Places’ – disability toilets for people with high support needs – available across the country. Labor will offer a third of the funding required to build a facility in each of the 400 Local Government Areas currently without one.
• Component 4 would pause the current changes to Supported Independent Living.

The proposal would take effect from 1 July 2022.
