05.01.2022 Some breaking news from the NDIA this afternoon ... The NDIA have just released the Functional Capacity Assessment Framework (phew that's a mouthful). This long... document gives some information about why the NDIA think independent assessments are a good idea. It also explains a little bit more about how and why they have selected the assessment tools they have. It is rather ironically titled - given that the NDIA have said the assessments won't just be about function. And yet that's what the framework is called? The NDIA says the framework has been developed with researchers, academics and allied health professionals. But not, as far as we are aware, with input from people with disability or their families. This is a very technical document and quite hard to get through. There is no Easy Read or plain English version available. So it's going to take us a while. We will of course let you know what we find. We know many of you have so many questions and concerns about what independent assessments will mean for you. We share them - and we promise to keep taking them to the government and the NDIA. And that is not all we are doing - so stay tuned. In the meantime if you want to look at what has been released today you can find it on the NDIS website. But be warned because it is very hard going. You can read the media release here - https://www.ndis.gov.au//5260-ndia-releases-new-functional You can read the full framework here - https://www.ndis.gov.au//functional-capacity-assessment-fr The NDIA have also released some frequently asked questions about independent assessments. You can find them here - https://www.ndis.gov.au//inde/independent-assessment-q-and (Image description: A red rectangle with the words "Breaking News" in white capital letters. Underneath the words you can see the Every Australian Counts logo and the words "NDIS: Make It Work)
