NDIS Rebranding Update
November 4, 2013
DisabilityCare Australia has reverted it's name to the original one used by the Productivity Commission in the report that recommended Australia establish a national disability insurance scheme.
It's back to National Disability Insurance Scheme or NDIS. The public service organisation that manages and administers the Scheme will be known as the National Disability Insurance Agency or NDIA, sometimes refer as the Agency.
Their website and staff email addresses changed to the shorter, easier-to-remember names from 28 October 2013.
NDIA follows a strict no-frills, low-cost and gradual approach to the renaming exercise. They aim to direct as much staff time and Scheme resources in delivering the NDIS and maximising the benefits of participants' plans.
