Tenant Voice
Do you live, work or own SDA? We want to hear all about it!
Our submission to the Inquiry into the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026
We’re proud to share that Tenant Voice lodged a submission to the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee on the NDIS Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026, representing our many reference group members who spent the past year telling us what makes the NDIS (and SDA) work.
From this phenomenal work, our very own Stacey Copas was invited to give to the Senate Community Affairs Legislation Committee for National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026. She beautifully spoke to the submission, which she also authored, and provided a much-needed voice to the ways in which the amendment could impact tenants.
