The National Disability Insurance Scheme (‘NDIS’) commenced in 2013 and is designed to give effect to Australia’s obligations under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2006 (‘CRPD’). Criticism of the NDIS has been widespread since the rollout, raising questions regarding compliance with the CRPD. This article specifically examines the shortcomings of the review process that persons with disabilities may encounter when they disagree with a decision made by the National Disability Insurance Agency, the body administering the NDIS, relating to their funding. It highlights inconsistencies with the CRPD article 13 ‘Access to justice’, article 12 ‘Equal recognition before the law’ and article 9 ‘Accessibility’. The reader will gain a deeper knowledge of the human rights weaknesses of the NDIS review process and how this impacts persons with disabilities. Opportunities to enhance compliance with the CPRD and start restoring confidence in the NDIS for persons with disabilities will be identified
