The DANA commissioned report provides an international perspective on Australian progress with the NDIS. The report explains why the current design of the NDIS is unsustainable and offers a regenerative vision for its reform.
The purpose of this international review is to:
- put the NDIS in a wider global context and compare it to other existing and emerging systems of disability support;
- enable improvements in the development and design of the NDIS;
- provide useful tools and evidence for the wider disability movement in order to strengthen their ability to engage in debate on these systemic issues and
- encourage further discussions with policy-makers and the disability and advocacy community.
Commissioned by DANA as part of our contribution to the NDIS Review, the report Redesigning the NDIS was launched on 29th August in Melbourne.

About the Authors of Redesigning the NDIS:
Dr Simon Duffy is one of the founders of the global Self-Directed Support Network and the Director of Citizen Network Research. In 2008, he was awarded the Prince Albert Medal by the Royal Society for Arts and in 2011 he received the Social Policy Association Award for Outstanding Contribution to Social Policy for his work on the personalisation of support.
10 years ago Dr Simon Duffy, after examining the initial design of the NDIS, wrote a report which predicted many of the problems that the NDIS is now facing and predicted that “the problems created by the current design are so great that it will force the Federal government to redesign the system in a matter of just a few years.” You can read the 2013 report Designing the NDIS at: https://citizen-network.org/library/designing-ndis.html
