We are excited to announce that Professor Bruce Bonyhady AM and Lisa Paul AO PSM will lead an in-depth thought leadership roundtable on the NDIS Review at NDS’s 2022 CEOs’ Meeting.  

This crucial session on Monday 28 November will provide registrants direct access to the co-chairs of the NDIS Review. 

About the NDIS Review 

Minister Bill Shorten referred to the independent NDIS Review as “the review of reviews”. It will look at the design, operations and sustainability of the NDIS and  at how to make the market and workforce more responsive, supportive and sustainable. It will work with participants, their families and carers, as well as providers and workers, to put people with disability back at the centre of the NDIS. The NDIS Review is led by panel co-chairs Professor Bruce Bonyhady AM and Ms Lisa Paul AO PSM.
