NDIS plans will be computer-generated with human involvement dramatically cut under sweeping overhaul

A major overhaul of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), set to be rolled out next year, will significantly reduce human involvement in creating funding and support plans for participants. Under the new system, a computer program will generate these plans, and NDIS staff will reportedly have no authority to modify them. This change, revealed by Guardian Australia, represents a dramatic shift in how support is determined for NDIS participants. The internal briefing outlining these changes indicates a move towards automated plan generation within the NDIS. The reason for the overhaul was not stated in the article.
