PROC-8107—Disability Representative and Carers Organisation (DRCO)

The Disability Representative and Carer Organisation (DRCO) Forum meets to discuss improvements to, and the experiences of participants in, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) (Participants). DRCO Forum members assist the National Disability Insurance Agency (Agency) to perform its functions, meet its obligations, and to achieve its overarching objectives in a manner that is consistent with the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (Cth), including • provision of expert advice to improve the implementation of the NDIS; • collection and analysis of the systemic voice of people with disability and their family/supporters across a diverse range of disability types and communities on key NDIS reforms; • participating in and supporting all forms of consultation and engagement with the Agency; • undertaking outreach, engagement, and consultation with Participants; and • advising on NDIS strategy or solution designs.
