NDIS Providers Are Bribing Remote Communities With Alcohol, Ci******es, and Phones

Vulnerable Territorians with disabilities are being exploited by predatory NDIS providers in remote NT communities. These providers are handing out alcohol, ci******es, cash, phones, food, and even gaming consoles to recruit participants—flouting the very ‘dry’ alcohol bans designed to protect communities.

In places like Lajamanu, Wugularr, Alice Springs, Aurukun, and Woorabinda, people are being pressured into signing NDIS service agreements they don’t understand, while funds are rapidly drained from their plans. Some participants are being taken to live-in homes against their will, isolated, and treated like hostages—all while their carers are cut off from online portals and their supports vanish.

One woman, Jalkie Rickson, was given to***co and taken an hour away from her community, only to find herself trapped in a home with no hope, cut off from her support network. Another, Floyd Rose, witnessed a provider giving alcohol to his late disabled mother in a dry community. Others report cash inducements for introducing providers to people with disabilities.

Disability advocates warn this is systematic exploitation. Plans meant to last months are emptied in weeks, while participants are left isolated, uncared for, and out of money. This is happening every week, and the regulator is failing to act.

The NDIS Code of Conduct forbids these practices, yet they continue in a legal grey area. Advocates are calling for:

Mandatory reporting of inducements as incidents

Independent investigative bodies in the NT

Cooling-off periods for switching providers

Stronger enforcement and sanctions against repeat offenders

This is blatant theft and abuse, exploiting people who already face the toughest challenges. NDIS funds are for care—not booze, ci******es, phones, and cash bribes.

12 MONTHS FOR A SERIOUS SEXUAL OFFENCE.

Read that again.

Twelve. Months.

In a country that speaks constantly about “protecting the vulnerable,” this is the outcome we’re expected to accept?

We’ll hold press conferences about protecting children online.
We’ll debate safety policies for weeks.

But when a vulnerable person is sexually assaulted — when the victim is disabled, autistic, or intellectually impaired — the public outrage often fades quickly.

Suddenly it’s described as “complex.”
Suddenly it’s about “mitigating factors.”
Suddenly it’s “the court has spoken.”

Let’s be clear.

Sexual assault is not confusion.
It is not a misunderstanding.
It is not a minor lapse in judgement.

It is a serious, life-altering crime.

A twelve-month sentence does not reflect the depth of trauma.
It does not reflect the long-term psychological impact.
It does not reflect the fear, the loss of trust, and the lasting harm experienced by victims.

When the victim is a person with disability, the message this sends is deeply concerning. Every person’s safety and dignity should carry equal weight.

If we truly value the safety of women, children, and people with disabilities, our justice system must consistently reflect the seriousness of these crimes.

Protection is more than a slogan.
Justice is more than a talking point.

We need stronger accountability.
We need consistency.
We need to ensure vulnerable people are genuinely protected.

Justice should mean something.

Man whose scalp was ‘ripped off’ has NDIS funding cuts

Gold Coast dad survives a catastrophic brain injury… only to have 80% of his NDIS funding cut.

After falling three metres through his Broadbeach Waters roof in January 2024, Richard Wells suffered devastating spinal fractures, skull fractures, hearing loss and seizures.

He spent 56 days in ICU at Gold Coast University Hospital, had part of his skull replaced, and spent 10 months in hospital relearning how to talk and swallow.

He cannot walk.

He cannot use much of the right side of his body.

He relies on daily support to survive.

For 18 months, NDIS-funded physio, OT, carers and psychology helped him slowly rebuild his life.

Then in September 2025, the National Disability Insurance Agency slashed his funding from $640,000 to $130,000 a year.

An 80% cut.

No warning before it took effect.

Now:

• Therapy reduced from multiple sessions weekly to 4.5 hours a month
• Psychology removed
• Carer hours capped at 22 hours a week
• His wife working full time while caring for him and their children
• His 86-year-old legally blind mother-in-law moved in to help

Richard has reportedly told his wife he feels like everyone would be better off without him.

Let that sink in.

This is happening in Gold Coast.

The family is now seeking review through the Administrative Review Tribunal.

The NDIA says funding can “go up and down” based on assessed needs.

But how does someone who cannot walk, cannot use half his body, and requires daily care suddenly need 80% less support?

Australians paid into this system believing it was there for catastrophic injury.

Now families are asking:

If this can happen to Richard — who is next?

👇 Do you believe catastrophic brain injury survivors should face funding cuts like this?
