Around 4.5 million Australians live with disability but less than 13% of them are covered by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Getting into the scheme is one thing. But many NDIS participants find using their funding is yet another.

Our research indicates a major issue in terms of the fairness of the scheme is less in the allocation of funding but more about whether people are able to spend their funding.

Some groups – particularly people living in regional or remote areas or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people – are less able to use their budgets. But there are ways to make the NDIS more equitable.

If elected to Government on 21 May, Labor has promised widespread reform to the NDIS and the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) that runs it.
https://www.disabilitysupportguide.com.au/talking-disability/the-ndis-is-unsustainable-thats-a-lie-says-bill-shorten
👉The Labor party has outlined six key ways in which it will achieve the NDIS reform and “return it to its original vision”, including:

👉Lifting the staffing cap at the NDIA and adding a further 380 staff, reducing the amount of insecure labour hire arrangements,

👉increasing the number of permanent staff and reviewing the NDIS’ design, operation and sustainability

👉Reviewing the use of external lawyers and consultants and cracking down on criminal activity and fraud

👉Streamlining the planning process to create better initial plans, as well as fixing the reviews and appeals process

👉Introducing an expert review to guarantee plan funding is not cut arbitrarily

👉Appointing a senior officer at the NDIA to address barriers to service delivery in regional areas

👉Co-designing all changes to the Scheme with people with disability and increasing the number of people with disability on the NDIA Board

Lights, camera, action for Oliver as he made his Neighbours debut 🎬

NDIS participant, model, para-athlete, disability advocate and now an actor on one of Australia’s most iconic TV shows, Oliver also added the first wheelchair user with a disability to appear on the show to his list of achievements.

Oliver’s NDIS supports include physical, occupational therapies and smart assistive technology devices which help to give him greater independence as he juggles acting and modelling with his responsibilities as a basketball wheelchair coach and motivational speaker.
