Disability and Carer Support - National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Appeals Program
The Australian Government is inviting applications via a closed non-competitive process to deliver services for the NDIS Appeals program (the program) from 1 December 2021 to 11 January 2022.
The program provides assistance to NDIS Appeals service providers to support clients seeking a review of their NDIS outcomes, and others affected by reviewable decisions of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA). NDIS service providers will also support clients to navigate external merits review processes in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT).
The program supports access to:
- a skilled disability advocate who acts as a support person
- funding for legal services, where there is a wider community that would substantially benefit from legal representation.
Activities under the program will ensure access to disability advocacy, or where required legal assistance providers, to support people with disability in Australia with NDIS Appeals(s) advocacy by:
- explaining and educating the review process
- detailing and coordinating activities involved in appealing to the AAT
- supporting the development of all relevant documents in preparation for the AAT’s review
- providing legal and administrative advice skills to empower and enable applicants to better represent themselves
- attending AAT conferences and hearings to help the applicant present the case to the AAT for review.
