Have your say: NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee wants your input

December 18, 2025

The Australian Government has established the NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee to make sure NDIS‑funded supports are safe, suitable and cost‑effective for people with disability. The Committee reviews evidence about specific supports and provides recommendations to Government, which helps shape what the NDIS funds and how.

The Committee brings together expertise from across research, clinical practice and lived experience. Importantly, it includes people with disability and their support networks. You can learn more by visiting the Committee on the NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee webpage.

What’s open for consultation now
The Committee is seeking feedback on the following supports:

  • Art therapy
  • Functional electrical stimulation
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (as a disability support)
  • Music therapy
  • Prosthetics with microprocessors
  • Therapy suits

Who should get involved
Everyone with a stake in these supports:

  • People who use, have used, or are considering these supports
  • Families and support networks
  • Practitioners and providers
  • Researchers and advocates
  • People using other supports for similar goals

Your lived experience and practical insights matter. The Committee will consider research evidence, data and community feedback to advise Government, aiming to improve participant outcomes and strengthen the NDIS.

How to participate

  • Complete a short survey or make a submission by Tuesday 20 January, 2026
  • Visit the consultation page for full details and links

Why your voice matters
This is a chance to help ensure NDIS supports are effective, safe and represent good value, this means people have access to the right supports to live life their way. Sharing what works, what doesn’t, and what’s missing can directly influence future decisions.

Spread the word
Please share this consultation with your networks: people with disability, families, support workers and clinicians. The more voices included, the stronger the outcome
