The new site aims to improve the NDIS user experience and will be trialled for a six week period to allow time for feedback on the design, structure, accessibility and layout of the new site.

Assistant Minister for Social Services, Sarah Henderson, said the release of the beta website is the latest in a series of significant improvements to be delivered for the NDIS. "The Government is working with the NDIA to improve the experience of NDIS participants, their families and carers, and providers," Ms Henderson said.

"It's important to remember this is a test website that is still undergoing final feedback before its official release in 2019.
