The Disability Services Commissioner is not the right place to make a complaint about matters relating to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). That is because we are a part of the Victorian system and the NDIS is part of the National system.
The NDIS provides funding to eligible people with disability to gain more time with family and friends, greater independence, access to new skills, jobs, or volunteering in their community, and an improved quality of life.
The Department of Social Services website on this page has further information about the NDIS.
The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) is the government organisation that implements and manages the NDIS.
When people contact us we help them to find the right way forward. We often provide the details for:
