NDIS 'New World Pitch' Competition: Driving Innovation in Disability Services
NDIS 'New World Pitch' Competition
The NDIS ‘New World Pitch’ competition is an annual initiative designed to foster innovation in technology for the disability sector. This prestigious competition is part of the NDIS New World: Disability in the 21st Century Conference and Trade Show, one of the most significant events for disability services in Australia.
Startups and technology-focused businesses across Australia are invited to present cutting-edge solutions that aim to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. At Become A Provider, we support these technological advancements, believing they play a vital role in enhancing disability services and ensuring that people with disabilities have access to the latest innovations that can enrich their daily lives.
What is the NDIS 'New World Pitch' Competition?
The NDIS ‘New World Pitch’ Competition is a platform for startups to showcase their innovative technologies that address the unique challenges faced by people with disabilities. The competition encourages Australian entrepreneurs and technology developers to think creatively and explore how modern technology can lead to better, more efficient solutions for disability services.
From assistive devices and applications to new methods for service delivery, the competition celebrates forward-thinking innovations that align with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) objectives. These innovations not only help individuals with disabilities but also make it easier for organisations and service providers to meet NDIS Practice Standards.
How to Participate
Startups interested in taking part in the competition must submit an online entry form outlining their innovative idea. The entry process typically takes place over a few weeks, during which participants can refine their proposals and tailor them to the needs of people with disabilities.
Submission of Ideas
Startups submit their entries, including detailed descriptions of their technology, its purpose, and how it will enhance the lives of people with disabilities.
Shortlisting of Finalists
After the submission period, a panel of experts reviews all entries and selects the top three finalists based on criteria such as innovation, impact, and feasibility.
Pitch Presentation
Finalists are invited to pitch their ideas in front of an audience at the NDIS New World Conference. Each startup receives personalised coaching to ensure their pitch is clear, engaging, and impactful.
Why This Competition Matters
The NDIS ‘New World Pitch’ is more than just a competition—it’s an opportunity for startups to make a lasting impact in the lives of people with disabilities. The competition highlights the importance of technology in improving the independence, mobility, and overall well-being of individuals in the disability community.
With over 4.3 million Australians living with a disability, there is an ever-increasing need for solutions that can address a wide range of challenges. By encouraging tech-driven innovation, the competition not only drives progress but also brings awareness to the technology gaps in the disability sector.
For Become A Provider, this competition reflects our commitment to supporting forward-thinking organisations and service providers who share our passion for innovation. We see technology as a critical tool in helping providers meet their obligations under the NDIS Practice Standards and deliver high-quality services.
