Summary
A government advisory committee is warning that proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme could seriously harm people with disabilities, undermine the program’s core mission, and concentrate too much power in the health minister’s hands. The $50 billion annual scheme is under fire as critics argue the current bill prioritizes cost-cutting over support, ignores community input, and risks disproportionately impacting Indigenous Australians. With only two weeks for consultation, human rights groups call the timeline inadequate, and disability advocates say the reforms are actively damaging — not improving — lives.
