What we have learnt
•
We know that people with disability
must be at the centre of the NDIS.
•
It is essential that participants have
choice and control in order to
achieve social and economic
independence and participation.
•
We know that families, carers and
informal supports are critical to the
success of the scheme.

The impact of the NDIS – Janet
Since being able to
communicate again, the
smile hasn’t left Janet’s
face. It’s like she has been
released, after being
trapped in her body.

The impact of the NDIS – Frank
Frank’s NDIS plan has been
great. Now he has all his
supports in place we can
operate much better as a
family. I can concentrate
more on being his mum.

NDIA technology
direction
Technology will empower people with disabilities and
support increased social and economic participation
• It is a benchmark of our society that we have
committed to providing people with disability
with choice and control over their own
needs
• Technology is the foundation of this social
transformation – the NDIS will catalyse an
ecosystem of innovation across the
economy
Technology is a liberator.
Technology liberates me
from the constraints of
my disability to live my
life normally.
- NDIS Participant

• We will use technology to deliver equal
connectivity between the city and country
and enable integrated provision of care
• We aspire to a new digital experience that
informs and empowers people with
disabilities

Working with NDIA & DHS
Opportunities for vendors working on ICT
solutions for the NDIS might include:
•
While DHS is providing the core
solution stack, there are many areas
where industry can provide
components to uplift DHS solutions to
meet NDIA requirements (e.g.
contextual user experience)
•
The nature of DHS’s vendor
relationships are not the same as for
the NDIA
•
The opportunities are not just for large
organisations – small vendors and
start-ups may also play a key role
22
Each stakeholder plays a key role to bring the solution
together

Assistive Technology for Participants… what’s the big
deal?
 Used extensively
 Highly impactful
40% of participant plans include AT
Enabling participants' independence
& social and economic participation
Converging “mainstream”, digital
and traditional aids & equipment
Very high impact on quality of life
relative to cost
$1b p.a. in Scheme by 2020, but
value contribution much higher
Can disrupt the NDIS marketplace and
enable new service delivery models
28
Assistive Technology – three priority areas
Innovative supply-side market
• Capture information and build an evidence base
• Stimulate, test and trial existing, new and mainstream technologies
Informed, active, participant-led demand
• Nationally consistent, multichannel information model
• Participant capacity building, processes optimise choice and control
Sustainable scheme that generates economic and social value
• Information to support all types of AT sourcing
• Sourcing approaches include free market to central procurement
• Intervening only when this improves outcomes for participants and provides
value for the Scheme
29
Benefits for Participants and the NDIS
Participants choose products to meet their needs
•
Better information available
•
Innovative products encouraged and trialled
•
Better products chosen on merit and
value for money

Panel discussion
•
There are ICT service providers, software developers, financial services organisations
and technology companies both small and large in attendance. What are some of the
opportunities the agency sees for the ICT industry in a little more detail?
• In due course we’ll be calling out specific challenges that we’ll need to work with
industry on. We are also open to hearing about innovation across the technology
industry. There will be a whole range of different forums and channels that we’ll be
using to work together with the technology industry.
• The major opportunities are assistive technologies, payments, analytics and to identify
insights from our structured and unstructured data.
• An opportunity also exists regarding how the government eMarket and the private
eMarkets will interact, as well as some of the APIs we are going to need to support that.
• A further consideration is about how to get the appropriate level of reach for those
people in remote areas to be able to interact with our services digitally.
•
Previously the NDIA has worked on projects that cover similar issues as being
discussed today. Is the NDIA intending to go back and look at some of the previous
technology projects proposed – because they were seeking to solve some of these
issues shared today?
• We’ve audited the previous work and we know what’s there. Clearly the time is
becoming more right for us to have a look at those again and to see how they might
support the initiatives we’re discussing today.
•
It is assumed that there are some panels which suppliers need to be on in order to
sell to the Commonwealth Government. What are the agency’s plans around that?
• The NDIA is intending to set up advisory panels or forums. These may not be ongoing,
and they may be quite focussed on particular topics/opportunities. For example, we will
be engaging in the development of capabilities not traditionally seen in government,
such as contextual interfaces and gamification.
• Governments are interested in different ways of commissioning and we hope we will be
at the forefront of doing this efficiently and effectively.
• We absolutely need the small and innovative organisations to be part of this and we will
work to ensure that procurement is not going to stop that.
•
The session has described the need for innovation and being at the leading edge, but
being in ICT we don’t always get it right the first time. How is government going to
handle refining these products with actual participants?
• The way DHS is approaching it is through their Innovation Centre which will provide an
open invitation to industry to come and showcase what they think should be part of our
ICT ecosystem over the next 5 years. A similar NDIS Technology Lab is also currently
being stood up.
• By doing this we will be able to de-risk some of these new capabilities before we bring
them into our ecosystem. This is a marathon, not a sprint and is something that we will
build over the next 10 years or more.
• What the agency seeks to do is not necessarily get it perfect the first time, but
demonstrate that we’re watching how its working and to course correct as quickly as
possible.
•
Given that the NDIA is interested in gamification and mobile technology, and there is
no official mobile standard at the moment (it’s an emerging W3C standard), how does
the NDIA intend to test and check that solutions are accessible if ICT providers don’t
have a governing standard to guide them?
• User experience is a key part of the NDIS. It’s complex in the disability sector because
we have to put some context around a client base that have a wide range of disabilities.
• We will have to establish a block or segment-based approach which considers the
types of disabilities that people have and test solutions against that.
• We will be working with participants and their families to test technology to ensure
solutions meet their needs.
• This is where NDIA needs to engage very broadly – this is not something we can do by
ourselves.
•
Can you explain the governance in relation to the trial sites and the usage of a
federated toolset in relation to the NDIS?
• The trial sites are using platforms provided by the Department of Social Services. The
trial sites started in this way because the scheme was brought forward a year ahead of
its schedule by the previous government, and hence there was a need to very quickly
piggy back on systems that existed then.
•
Could you provide a definition on the word ‘provider’? Is the NDIA providing
supportive tools and assets to providers or these to be delivered directly by the
provider?
• There will be different types of providers, but by and large the vast bulk of these will be
the suppliers of reasonable and necessary supports and products to a participant in
accordance with a participant’s plan.
• There is another layer of providers who will be other intermediaries performing some
form of brokerage, plan management or intermediary function to help participants
interact with the NDIS and access support.
•
How is the agency seeking to make unstructured, large amounts of data available to
the provider communities and interested parties so that they can become much better
informed about what’s happening in the marketplace and to generate alternative
strategies?
• In principle, we will be providing as much data as possible, both structured and
unstructured, for the market to connect ideas and solve problems.
• We are dealing with some very sensitive data about individuals, so we’ll push what we
can out to the market, as soon as we can.
• We will be able to leverage data to understand which combinations of local area
coordination, service delivery models and providers are delivering the best outcomes,
to help drive better performance across the NDIS.
•
How will the eMarket move from a vision to a reality in line with the 12 month
timeframe presented?
• The internal build of the agency eMarket will be done in conjunction with DHS as part of
the broader ICT program. In the next six months we are going to have co-design
activities with participants and providers and further develop functionality and useability.
• In parallel with that, in the next 2 months, we will be talking to people that have
expressed an interest in having their own eMarket product.
• After this session we will be commencing engagement on some specific opportunities
and want to hear from those organisations interested in being involved in that.
