Disability sector leader Dr George Taleporos has been appointed to the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission’s Sector Consultation Forum, in a role running from 20 April 2026 to 24 March 2028.
Dr Taleporos confirmed the appointment in a LinkedIn post, saying he was “pleased to share” the news and looked forward to contributing to the Commission’s work, “raising community concerns with decision-makers, and helping to put forward practical, implementable solutions.”
He said regulation must “protect people with disability and our families without undermining our right to choice and control over our supports and our lives,” and called for stronger accountability for providers when services “infringe on our human rights.”
Dr Taleporos also said he would advocate for a “self-directed registration category” in future changes to provider registration, allowing people who self-manage and self-direct supports to continue building individualised arrangements.
