Results of a recent survey by the grassroots campaign for the NDIS, Every Australian Counts, have revealed serious concerns with the recommendations put forward by the NDIS Review.

The greatest concerns were related to the recommendation to require participants to be restricted to registered or enrolled providers. 68% of NDIS participants surveyed disagreed or strongly disagreed with the NDIS Review proposal while only 13% supported the proposal. Family members and nominees survey also opposed the changes. 58% of family members and nominees surveyed disagreed or strongly disagreed with the NDIS review proposal while only 22% of this group were in favour. 

NDIS participants expressed deep concerns with the proposal for compulsory registration as outlined in the NDIS review. Specifically: 

• A loss of choice and control over their supports
• The current registration model not actually working to keep individuals safe from abuse and ensure accountability.
• Limitations to the market available for support.
• Increasing monetary costs of services.
