Joint Position Statement: Disability Representative Organisations in call for a human rights-based approach to NDIA needs assessments

Disability Representative Organisations have worked together to develop a detailed joint position statement offering recommendations to guide the Australian Government’s transition to a new human right-based needs assessment model. We strongly urge the Department of Social Services (DSS), the NDIA, and implementation partners to embed human rights, co-design, and trusted relationships at the centre of this reform.

We acknowledged the leadership of Women with Disability Australia (WWDA) in the development of this position statement, and it is based on the principles outlined in WWDA’s position statement.
