The National Disability Insurance Scheme Evidence Advisory Committee is a non-statutory committee to be established by the Australian Government in 2025. The role of the NDIS Evidence Advisory Committee (EAC) is to provide expert, independent advice to government on the suitability of a broad range of supports for funding under the NDIS and what works for participants. The EAC will also provide advice on the evidence base for therapies, interventions and other services that assert therapeutic or capacity building benefits for people with a disability, as well as assistive technology and capital supports.
Technical subcommittees will make recommendations to and support the EAC. Members of the technical subcommittees will bring extensive subject matter expertise in a range of areas identified in the EAC workplan together with strong data analysis, research and evidence-based decision making across capacity building and therapies, assistive technology and economics.
The Government is seeking applications for members of the Evidence Advisory Committee and for three technical sub-committees.
To be a strong contender for these important roles, Evidence Advisory Committee members will be recognised for their integrity, ethical decision-making; capacity to provide high-quality independent and transparent advice; excellent judgement; and ability to build trusted relationships and work collaboratively with Ministers, government, and a wide range of stakeholders at a national level to achieve objectives.
Technical subcommittee members will demonstrate substantial experience in the analysis of data, academic research and other evidence to provide advice and reporting to the EAC about the expected benefits for participants, safety, and cost-effectiveness of disability supports. Your expertise, professional standing and qualifications in a wide range of relevant fields will enable you to engage constructively to understand and interpret clinical and/or economic data to formulate evidence-informed advice.
Applications from people who have the above skills and experience and lived experience of disability are strongly encouraged.
Before applying, please obtain selection documentation by emailing quoting Ref No 1153.
Applications close 17 December 2024
