Queensland Alliance for Mental Health supports NDIS reform that is sustainable, inclusive and centred on people.

In our submission to the Senate inquiry into the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026, we advocate for genuine co-design, strong safeguards and a carefully planned approach to reform that supports people throughout the transition.
