National NDIS Review Conference
Dr.Dinesh Palipana OAM, Keynote Speaker at NDIS Transformation Summit, 3rd Aug in Melbourne.
The role of governments, both at the state and federal levels, in addressing the needs of people with disabilities in India has evolved over time. Previously, the state governments had more responsibility in this area, but now there is a centralized approach through the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) implemented by the federal government. This shift towards centralization aimed to ensure a more consistent and coordinated approach to disability support and services across the country.
Finding solutions to these challenges requires addressing the bureaucratic barriers and streamlining processes. Implementing electronic systems and technologies can be beneficial in facilitating communication, information sharing, and service delivery. However, it’s essential to navigate the political landscape and budgetary constraints that can hinder progress.
Ultimately, the key lies in promoting a holistic understanding of disability support and healthcare as interconnected issues. By fostering collaboration, open dialogue, and a shared commitment to positive outcomes for people with disabilities, governments can work towards overcoming the complexities and achieving a more effective and integrated system of support.
