‘Unethical’: NDIS participants ‘lured’ into trials. By Denham Sadler, InnovationAus

In April 2021, I was interviewed in this article about the government’s proposed ‘Independent Assessments’, and what I saw as scam-like behaviour of luring NDIS Participants - including people with intellectual disabilities - into participating in trials .

The NDIA is inviting existing participants to take part in the pilot through text messages, cold calls and emails, with offers of $150 in exchange for participation. The text messages have included the phrase “exclusive invitation”, and have been sent directly to NDIS participants.
