The 2025 NDIS Providers Summit was an outstanding success, bringing together more than 200 leaders and practitioners from every state and territory across Australia. The diverse delegate mix ensured a truly national conversation, with representation spanning providers, policy experts, regulators, and community advocates. This broad participation underscored the summit’s role as a central meeting point for the sector, where insights could be shared, challenges debated, and strategies aligned to advance the future of disability reform.

 

The program was elevated by the involvement of high-profile leaders, including Senator the Hon. Jenny McAllister, Minister for the NDIS, and Louise Glanville, the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commissioner. Their presence demonstrated the summit’s credibility and its strong connection to the policy and regulatory agenda. Discussions explored the impact of the NDIS Amendment Bill and covered critical themes such as financial sustainability, workforce development, quality and safety governance, and the integration of new technologies. The direct participation of both the Minister and the Commissioner ensured that delegates heard first-hand perspectives from those shaping the system, while also being able to engage in meaningful dialogue with government and regulators.

 

Feedback reflected the value of this unique platform, with participants noting the richness of insights, the quality of networking, and the actionable takeaways gained from sessions. With such strong momentum, the NDIS Reform Summit is firmly established as the premier national forum for the sector, and planning is already underway to make the 2026 edition even more impactful.
