On behalf of the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, I present the committee's report entitled Provision of hearing services under the National Disability Insurance Scheme—interim report.

Report made a parliamentary paper in accordance with standing order 39(e).

by leave—In summary, the committee has deep concerns that the NDIA is failing to provide appropriate and timely services for hearing-impaired children, with significant disruption of early intervention services, the failure to develop early intervention packages and inadequate and underfunded plans. These issues need to be addressed urgently.
