澳大利亚政府已通过立法，对国家残障保险计划（NDIS）实施争议性改革，计划在四年内节省378亿澳元，并削减16万名参与者1。此次改革收紧了准入标准，改变了需求评估方式，引入了更严格的永久性残障证明规则，并允许使用自动化工具评估资格1。此外，新立法要求申请者尝试所有[相关途径]1。

具体实施细节将由新设立的技术咨询组负责制定，该小组预计于2026年底完成大部分工作，并将于2027年3月向政府提交报告1。根据规划，相关资格变更将于2028年1月正式生效1。对于已参与NDIS的人士，将从2028年开始根据新标准进行重新评估，整个评估过程将历时三年1。

The Australian government has passed controversial legislation to reform the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), aiming to reduce the participant base by 160,000 and save A$37.8 billion over a four-year period 1. The reforms introduce stricter entry criteria, modify how needs are assessed, and implement more rigorous rules for proving permanent disability, while also permitting the use of automated tools to evaluate eligibility 1.

A newly established technical advisory group has been tasked with developing the specific implementation details of these changes 1. This group is expected to finalize most of its work by the end of 2026 and will submit a report to the government in March 2027 1. The new eligibility criteria are scheduled to take effect in January 2028, at which point existing NDIS participants will begin a three-year reassessment process under the updated standards 1.
