AddressCurrently, there are around 4.3 million Australians with a disability. The National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) implements the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which is one of the biggest social reforms in the country since Medicare. As an Agency, we support more than 600,000 participants with a significant and permanent disability, and the families and carers of those living with disability. For many Australians, this will be the first time they receive the disability support they need. The NDIA is designed to enhance the quality of life and increase economic and social participation for people with disability and will mean a peace of mind for every Australian.
A new role awaitsBecome a vital part of our team in ICT Integrity Transformation Branch where we are recruiting multiple APS5's who are enthusiastic about contributing to a team-centric environment that undertakes work that supports the NDIA’s objectives to build a world class Scheme.
The ICT Integrity Transformation Branch is a new branch in the Office of the Chief Information Office (OCIO) that has been developed due to the Crack Down on Fraud (CDoF) Program. The branch will deliver systems and services that help protect and improve the integrity of the NDIS. The branch will develop and implement strategies to reduce fraud and fulfil the goals of the NDIS Review, which states that the NDIS will become more responsive, supportive and sustainable, and put people with disability back at the centre of what we do.
CDoF will deliver a program of work that embeds preventative measures against fraud and non-compliance of NDIS through both IT capability and process improvements. These capabilities will also improve the experience for participants of the scheme. This will make it easy for participants to use and pay for NDIS supports accurately, fairly and transparently; and for providers to be appropriately paid for the services they deliver.
