NDIS policy and implementation issues

As the peak, national non-government organisation representing and promoting the interests of the Australian mental health sector, Mental Health Australia has an ongoing role in influencing mental health reform so that government policies address all contemporary mental health issues. As such, Mental Health Australia provides advice to government about the impact of the NDIS on the mental health sector (including on consumers and carers) through various mechanisms.
