On behalf of the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, I present the committee's report, incorporating additional comments, the General issues—Annual report No. 1 of the 47th parliament.

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

by leave—This report marks ten years since the establishment of the first NDIS Joint Standing Committee in the 44th parliament in 2013. Since its establishment, the committee has conducted numerous inquiries into key aspects of the NDIS. In overseeing the scheme, the committee has drawn on the experiences and views of NDIS participants, their families, carers, representatives, organisations, providers and workers for the disability sector. This has been an amazing report. It has focused on three principles. It has focused on control and choice. It has also focused on sustainability and co-design. I'd like to thank all members of the committee. I'd also like to thank everyone who has shaped the committee's work. I thank them for their recommendations to our committee over time. They have contributed to the significant body of evidence—
