DANA was funded by the Australian Government to engage with advocates, people with disability and experts as part of the independent NDIS Review. DANA’s engagement activities were run from May to August 2023 and focused on the following areas:

  • Fires, floods and COVID-19
  • Quality and Safety  
  • Mainstream and Tier 2  
  • Supported Decision Making 


The objective of DANA’s Engagement and Solutions Project was to develop a range of proactive, evidence-based solutions to present to the NDIS Review and included:

  • Discussion papers by experts on 4 focus areas 
  • Online forums with 74 attendances including 58 advocates from 38 organisations 
  • Short surveys to advocates and people with disability with 175 responses 
  • Small grants for 6 member organisations to engage in closed settings  
  • Summary reports with key themes and headline solutions on each focus area 

Summary reports were informed by engagements and presented key themes and headline solutions for each of the 4 focus areas, including: 

  • Key problems and solutions identified by discussion papers 
  • Summaries of survey responses
