We are working to make NDIS planning fairer, more transparent, sustainable and person-centred. We’re proposing a new way of planning, and we want to hear from NDIS participants and the disability community to make sure we get it right.

The Federal Court has made a landmark ruling clarifying that NDIS eligibility does not require people with disability to prove that other services can’t meet their support needs.

We were proud to represent Sherri Sutherland in the matter. Sherri said she was relieved by the court’s decision.

‘I first applied for the NDIS five years ago. This case has gone on for a long time, but I have continued to fight to have the disability supports I need because without them I cannot look after my health and hygiene or live a life of dignity,’ she said.

People with disability already experience a range of barriers to living with dignity in the community.

They shouldn’t be burdened with having to show that their support needs cannot be met by other services just to access the NDIS.

Welcome to 2026. Is it going to be a good year? Here are our hopes for 2026.

A New Year’s resolution for the :
1. A funding model that genuinely works — one that delivers real, practical solutions for people with disabilities and the circle of support around them.
2. A system where leadership provides a transparent, trustworthy roadmap for both participants and providers.
3. A future with fewer ART applications, fewer crises, and issues resolved early and fairly — without the need for NDIS lawyers.
4. A sector that creates real, long‑term employment opportunities for disability workers, recognising their skill, stability, and the relationships they build with participants.
5. And an online system that still feels human at every step — accessible, responsive, and designed to support people, not overwhelm them.

We look forward to continuing to share, discuss, and document people’s journeys.
Please join an that is genuinely invested in the lives of all Australians with disabilities — a community that listens, learns, and stands alongside every person and their circle of support.
