Performance audit (potential)
Potential audit: 2018-19
Potential
The audit would assess the effectiveness of controls being implemented and/or developed by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) to ensure that decisions about the ‘reasonable and necessary’ supports to include in a participant’s plan are consistent with legislative and other requirements.
When fully implemented, it is estimated that the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) will cover approximately 460,000 Australians with disability, at a total cost of around $22 billion in 2020–21. Financial sustainability is a key objective of the NDIS, and the scope and volume of supports available through NDIS participant plans is a major cost driver of the scheme.
The audit would examine the controls being implemented by the NDIA to ensure that supports provided in participant plans are ‘reasonable and necessary supports’ as defined in the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013.
