Helping NDIS participants and providers resolve disputes with clarity and expertise.

Supporting NDIS Participants

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a vital role in empowering individuals with disabilities to access necessary supports and services. However, when decisions made by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) negatively impact participants, it can be distressing and confusing. At Holzworth Legal, we are committed to supporting individuals through the appeals and disputes process to ensure fair and just outcomes.

Whether your access to the NDIS has been denied, your support plan has been unexpectedly changed, or you believe the NDIA has made an error in decision-making, you have the right to appeal. Our legal team offers personalised support throughout this process, including:

  • Assistance in submitting an internal review request to the NDIA
  • Legal representation at the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART)
  • Advice on documentation and evidence required for appeals
  • Support in understanding your rights and obligations as a participant

You can find more information about the review process directly from the NDIS official site on requesting a review of a decision.

Our team is experienced in handling complex NDIS appeals and is dedicated to ensuring you receive the supports you are entitled to. We provide compassionate and thorough legal representation to make your voice heard in the review process.

Assisting NDIS Providers

Registered NDIS providers play a critical role in delivering services and supports to participants. Disputes with the NDIA can significantly impact your ability to operate effectively. At Holzworth Legal, we help NDIS providers navigate compliance matters, funding disputes, and administrative reviews.

We understand the complexity of the NDIS regulatory framework and offer legal services in areas such as:

  • Appeals related to provider registration and renewal decisions
  • Assistance with NDIA compliance investigations
  • Review of decisions affecting funding or service delivery agreements
  • Advice on meeting ongoing legal and regulatory obligations under the NDIS

Our goal is to resolve disputes efficiently and minimise disruption to your services. We provide tailored legal strategies that protect your reputation and promote compliance.

What Is the Appeals and Disputes Process?

The NDIS provides a formal process for reviewing decisions through internal review by the NDIA and external review by the Administrative Review Tribunal. Key steps include:

  1. Requesting an internal review within three months of receiving a decision from the NDIA.
  2. Receiving the outcome of the internal review, which may affirm, vary, or revoke the original decision.
  3. Applying for an external review to the ART if unsatisfied with the internal review outcome.
  4. Participating in the ART process, which may involve mediation, submission of evidence, and hearings.

Learn more about the external appeals process via the Administrative Review Tribunal’s official website.
