## Resource

The NDIS spent $60 million last year hiring lawyers to fight participants in tribunals—often losing cases and wasting funds that could’ve gone straight to people like Chantel Moody, who needs constant support for basic tasks but only gets seven hours daily. With appeals backed up months and lives hanging in the balance, the agency’s new dispute resolution plans feel like a start, not a fix—while participants like Chantel and Jaydan simply ask for the support they need to live, not to fight for it.
