MIFA Submission to the Joint Standing Committee on the NDIS Inquiry into NDIS Independent Assessments

Mental Illness Fellowship of Australia (MIFA) has collaborated with our sector partners Mental Health Australia (MHA) and Community Mental Health Australia (CMHA) to prepare a joint letter to the Chair of the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), the Hon Kevin Andrews MP, about our response to the NDIS Independent Assessments Inquiry.

We stand together to support the recommendations that MHA has submitted for consideration as part of their Policy Paper on NDIS Independent Assessments. This joint submission is attached at Appendix A. In addition, MIFA has further advice and recommendations on NDIS Independent Assessments that we detail below for consideration by the Joint Standing Committee on the NDIS. We thank the Joint Standing Committee for the opportunity to contribute to this Inquiry.
