The next step to improving the digital experience for NDIS participants and providers is now underway.

The Digital Partnership Program manages controlled and secure access to some of the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) data and systems. This latest phase expands access to the NDIA Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to more software developers working with registered providers.

APIs are being created so providers and software developers can build new tools, applications and digital marketplaces to boost how participants, providers and the NDIA all connect and work together.

This next phase gives more software developers working with registered NDIS providers the ability to request access to the NDIA’s APIs, creating more opportunities for digital experts to develop new tools and applications.

“As an important step in the government’s plan to deliver the NDIS through market innovation and improved technology, we welcome and encourage more software developers to request access to the new APIs,” NDIS Minister Stuart Robert said. “We hope to see providers and software developers in the sector working together on solutions to improve the overall digital experience for NDIS participants.”

The NDIA Digital Partnership Program was announced in February this year.
