The Queensland government has directed the Queensland Productivity Commission (the Commission) to undertake an inquiry into the National Disability Insurance Scheme market in Queensland.

This draft report provides an opportunity for consultation on the issues raised by the inquiry— and, in particular, on our preliminary analysis, findings and recommendations.

The draft report finds targeted reforms are needed for the NDIS to reach its full potential. It sets out 39 draft recommendations to:

• realign participant, provider and agency incentives
• increase the availability of information
• simplify processes and reduce the compliance burden
• provide greater flexibility and remove restrictions
• improve the governance of the scheme.
