This FOI release contains draft explanatory documentation for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) (Notice of Impairments) Rules, which establishes procedures for issuing and varying Notices of Impairment to NDIS participants. The instrument aims to enhance transparency by informing participants which impairment categories (intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, physical, psychosocial, or developmental delay) form the basis of their scheme participation, without disclosing specific diagnoses. The rules enable the NDIA to issue notices to all participants who accessed the scheme before 1 January 2025, allow the CEO to unilaterally vary notices for accuracy, and restrict participants' ability to apply for variations in certain circumstances. The document is a consultation draft and does not represent final policy.
