The NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee will provide advice to the Australian Government on the suitability of supports for funding under the NDIS. This was announced in the 2024-25 Budget, as part of the response to the NDIS Review.
The work of the Committee will be supported by three technical sub-committees that specialise in assistive technology and capital, capacity building and therapies and economic analysis. The EAC and sub-committee members have expertise in a wide range of areas including allied health practice, nursing, clinical research, education, medicine, law, social work and business. A majority of EAC members are people with disability, and a large majority of EAC and sub-committee members are people with disability or other lived experience of disability, including carers.
The EAC members are:
- Associate Professor Jill Duncan OAM (Chair)
- Professor Angus Buchanan
- Ms Melanie Eagle
- Matthew Formston AM
- Ms Clare Gibellini
- Professor Tammy Hoffman OAM
- Dr Robyn Mildon
- Mr Andrew Moffat
- Ms Mary Sayers.
The co-chairs for each of the subcommittees are:
Assistive Technology & Capital Sub-Committee
- Dr Lisa Chaffey
- Professor Alistair McEwan
Capacity Building & Therapies Sub-Committee
- Dr Walid Jammal
- Professor Yasmine Probst
Economics Sub-Committee
- Professor Liliana Bulfone
- Professor Rob Carter
The remaining members of the subcommittees will be announced soon.
Public consultation on each support considered by the committee will commence in late 2025.
