It is a thorough and rigorous examination of the scheme?s formation and development, including a range of different academic voices.? ?Graeme Innes AM, Australian Disability Discrimination Commissioner (2005?2014) The National Disability Insurance Scheme (known commonly as the NDIS) was introduced as a radical new way of funding disability services in Australia. It is a rare moment in politics and policy making that an idea as revolutionary, ambitious and expensive as the NDIS makes it into its implementation phase. Not surprising, then, that the NDIS has been described by many as the biggest social shift in Australia since Medicare. This book will be a key text for scholars and public policy professionals wishing to understand the NDIS, how it was designed, and lessons learned through its introduction and roll-out. The book addresses how the NDIS has intersected with particular cohorts and sectors, and some of the challenges that have arisen. It highlights the experiences of people with disability through a collection of personal stories from participants and families in the NDIS. The key insights from this large scale public policy experiment are relevant for anyone interested in social change in Australia, or internationally. Mhairi Cowden is a public policy professional and researcher. She has worked for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet in Western Australia advising on community services including the NDIS. Her previous publications include ?Children?s Rights: From Philosophy to Public Policy?. She holds a PhD from the Australian National University. Claire McCullagh is currently a Director at Nous Group, Australia. She is a consultant and public policy professional. She has previously held senior policy positions within the Western Australian Government, including the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, the Mental Health Commission and the Disability Services Commission. She holds a Master of Public Policy from the University of Oxford. 606 $aDisability insurance$xGovernment policy$zAustralia 606 $aSocial security$zAustralia 606 $aAssegurances d'invalidesa$2thub 606 $aSeguretat social$2thub 606 $aPolítica governamental$2thub 607 $aAustràlia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aDisability insurance$xGovernment policy 615 0$aSocial security 615 7$aAssegurances d'invalidesa 615 7$aSeguretat social 615 7$aPolítica governamental 676 $a362.40994 702 $aMcCullagh$b Claire 702 $aCowden$b Mhairi$f1986- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495226603321 996 $aThe National Disability Insurance Scheme$92035858 997 $aUNINA
