Concerns NDIS watchdog will be overwhelmed by reforms

About this episode

The episode discusses concerns regarding the potential overwhelming of the NDIS watchdog due to proposed government reforms.

As the dust settles on the federal government's proposal to reshape the National Disability Insurance Scheme, the work of the body enforcing standards in the system has come into focus. The government wants more NDIS providers registered, but some disability groups are worried this could overwhelm the scheme's Quality and Safeguards Commission.
