🙌🏼 thank you 🙏🏼

We're calling on the Australian Government to halt the passage of its controversial National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) Amendment Bill until significant concerns around process, accountability and the impact of the reforms are addressed.

Our President and 7 Commissioners are jointly urging the government to slow down the pace of reform and take a more considered approach to modifying the scheme in a way that protects and promotes human rights.

Disability Discrimination Commissioner Rosemary Kayess: 'With so many people and organisations across the government and disability sectors raising serious concerns, the Australian Government must hit pause on the passage of this Bill and undertake a much more considered and consultative approach to reforming the NDIS.’

Significant NDIS changes were announced today by Mark Butler MP
Key points:
Access to the NDIS will no longer be based on diagnosis alone.
Instead, eligibility will be based on functional capacity (how much a person’s disability impacts their day-to-day life).

This means:
• Two people with the same diagnosis may have different outcomes
• Some people who currently qualify may not qualify for the NDIS in the future
• Changes are expected to begin from 2028 and be phased in over time

Other changes include adjustments to participant plans, tighter reassessment rules, increased provider regulation, and the development of community supports (what they’re calling, “Foundational Supports”) outside the NDIS.

There is a lot in this announcement, and more detail will be worked through over time.

We’ve prepared a clear, factual summary to help you understand what’s been proposed. Visit the link in comments to read more
