My question is to Senator Ryan, the Minister representing the Minister for Social Services. The NDIS, which commenced operations in 2013 across three trial sites, has never consistently provided information, forms or plans in accessible formats. According to Vision Australia, currently it varies between 'difficult' and 'impossible' for a participant or potential participant in the NDIS to access information about the NDIS in braille or in an alternative form of their choice. Does the minister concede that this inaccessibility is in fundamental conflict with the principles of choice and control that underpin the NDIS?
