The Australian Government has announced two appointments to the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) Board and five appointments to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Independent Advisory Council (IAC). It says the appointments bolster the number of people with disability and bring strong lived and professional experience into key leadership positions for the NDIS. NDIS Minister, Bill Shorten said the Board appointments were made with the unanimous support of state and territory disability ministers, and the IAC appointments were in close consultation, ensuring the individuals had the requisite skills, experience and knowledge for their roles. “These appointments continue to strengthen the capability of the NDIA Board and strengthen the quality of advice to the Board from the IAC during this critical period of NDIS reforms,” said Mr Shorten. Dr Rhonda Galbally AC and Leah van Poppel will undertake new terms on the NDIA Board. Minister Shorten said both Dr Galbally and Ms van Poppel bring significant experience from the sector and from their previous Board experience.
