Rick Morton’s analysis of the latest NDIS changes (in The Saturday Paper article) focuses on how sweeping structural reforms will reshape the scheme:
• He highlights that beyond diverting autistic children with low-to-moderate needs into Thriving Kids, governments are fast-tracking a new framework planning system that fundamentally alters how NDIS plans and budgets are determined. 
• Under this system, independent assessments using a standard tool — rather than planner judgment — will generate a participant’s support-needs score, which then dictates funding levels. Planners will no longer be able to override these figures. 
• The Administrative Review Tribunal (appeals body) will also be restricted: it won’t be able to change what supports are funded, only order a new assessment using the same methodology. 
• Morton argues these changes transfer budget control from individualised, case-by-case planning to a deterministic, bureaucratic system designed to rein in spending — potentially at the cost of personalised support that participants currently receive. 
• He also notes consultation materials about how these budgeting rules will actually work are still lacking key details, despite the reforms’ scale and their projected billions in savings. 

In short, Morton sees the latest NDIS reforms as moving the scheme toward rigid, score-based budgets with less human discretion and reduced appeal rights, reshaping how disability support is allocated nationwide.
