Throughout August and into September, the NDIA are holding face-to-face meetings on their new computer system, called PACE, and their new provider portal. The new system will soon replace the current computer system and myplace portal.  

As many providers will know, the new system has been trialled in Tasmania since November. It is intended to be more user-friendly, making it easier for NDIA staff, partners and providers to do their job and free up time to better support participants.  

In the meeting, representatives of the NDIA will give an overview of the Participant, Platform and Process initiative, also known as 3P, and how it aims to improve the participant and provider experience. 

They will also go through the key changes from the Tasmanian trial. 

The free sessions in Canberra, Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne, and Geelong are set, with details for other capitals and regional centres to be announced soon. Some sessions are for all providers, while other sessions target support coordinators or plan managers.
