NDIS & NIIS

The National Disability Insurance Scheme

The Australian Lawyers Alliance (ALA) advocates for people with disability to have full access to their rights, many of which are laid out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disability.

The National Injury Insurance Scheme

The National Injury Insurance Scheme (NIIS) is proposed as a no-fault scheme to operate nationwide. Initially proposed to cover four categories of accidents (motor accidents, workplace accidents, medical accidents and general accidents), each jurisdiction is now operating a complying scheme in relation to motor accidents and workplace accidents. The ALA believes that the roll-out of the NIIS should stop there.
