The NDIS has so far enabled 692,823 participants and continues to increase while maintaining vigil on expenses. More participants are assuming control over their lives, befriending others, and acquiring employment.

The program has also recruited 800 new employees to provide additional services. That being said, there remain some challenges to be overcome, such as high school fees and service fees. Businesses like Bunnings are coming to the fore to provide improved services for people with disabilities. Though things are moving forward, there is still much to do.
