Disability care and support will meet nationally consistent standards; Disability care and support will be sustainably resourced; and Disability care and support will contribute to governments’ commitments to closing the gap on Indigenous disadvantage. The objectives for the NDIS are set out in the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (NDIS Act). The objects of the NDIA Act are to: in conjunction with other laws, give effect to Australia’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities done at New York on 13 December 2006 ([2008] ATS 12); provide for the National Disability Insurance Scheme in Australia; support the independence and social and economic participation of people with disability; provide reasonable and necessary supports, including early intervention supports, for participants in the National Disability Insurance Scheme launch; enable people with disability to exercise choice and control in the pursuit of their goals and the planning and delivery of their supports; facilitate the development of a nationally consistent approach to the access to, and the planning and funding of, supports for people with disability; promote the provision of high quality and innovative supports that enable people with disability to maximise independent lifestyles and full inclusion in the mainstream community; raise community awareness of the issues that affect the social and economic participation of people with disability, and facilitate greater community inclusion of people with disability; and in conjunction with other laws, give effect to certain obligations that Australia has as a party to: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights done at New York on 16 December 1966 ([1980] ATS 23); the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights done at New York on 16 December 1966 ([1976] ATS 5); the Convention on the Rights of the done at New York on 20 November 1989 ([1991] ATS 4); the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women done at New York on 18 December 1979 ([1983] ATS 9); and the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination done at New York on 21 December 1965 ([1975] ATS 40). These objects are to be achieved by: providing the foundation for governments to work together to develop and implement the National Disability Insurance Scheme launch; and adopting an insurancebased approach, informed by actuarial analysis, to the provision and funding of supports for people with disability.
