This proclamation activated the substantive parts of the NDIS framework, allowing the disability insurance scheme to begin operation.\n\n**In simple terms**: Think of the Act as a new appliance and this proclamation as plugging it into the wall on 1 July 2013."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/national-disability-insurance-scheme-commencement-proclamation-2013","history":"/api/acts/national-disability-insurance-scheme-commencement-proclamation-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/national-disability-insurance-scheme-commencement-proclamation-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/national-disability-insurance-scheme-commencement-proclamation-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/national-disability-insurance-scheme-commencement-proclamation-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/national-disability-insurance-scheme-commencement-proclamation-2013/documents"}}
