Interested in what others have to say about this release today from the NDIA - looks like co-design groups will only be 1/3 actual disability community members or representatives from disability or carer orgs. Only 1/6 being actual NDIS participants. That's TWO members in each co-design group while the majority is made up of govt and NDIA reps and 'relevant topic experts' - whatever those are. Membership Each co-design group will have members from across the disability community including: 1. NDIS participants, family members or carers with relevant lived experience of disability. 2.Disability Representatives and Carer Organisation representatives. 3. Representatives from the NDIS Independent Advisory Council and relevant reference groups. 4. Relevant topic industry experts. 5. NDIA representatives (including teams developing and implementing reforms and the NDIS co-design team). 6. Other Government representatives (for example the Department of Social Services and the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission). How you can get involved There are places for 2 NDIS participants in each group. This is in NO WAY equitable representation in my opinion. Am eager for your thoughts, if you have the spoons/capacity to share. Jarrod Sandell-Hay Dr George Taleporos (GAICD, PhD) El Gibbs
