Australians living with disabilities who receive services from providers outside the National Disability Insurance Scheme could be better supported and protected from harm.

Social Services Minister Amanda Rishworth introduced legislation on Thursday to protect the rights and safety of those living with disabilities who are seeking support services.

Ms. Rishworth said the reforms would “support people to participate in society, ensure safe and quality services and protect their rights”.
