Instrument of Delegation update
This week I approved the revised Instrument of Delegation 2 of [Delegation icon. ] 2021, which empowers more staff to make delegate decisions on my behalf across key functions, such as access, planning and reviews. Giving these greater decision-making powers supports timely and accurate decision-making for participants as well as more manageable workloads for delegates.
The Instrument of Delegation needs to be updated from time to time to ensure it reflects changes to the Agency’s structure, roles, titles and permissions under the NDIS Act.
Further details, including the specific positive changes now live in the Instrument of Delegation, are available on the Delegations and authorisations intranet page.
