Summary
One of the key figures behind the disability royal commission warns that proposed changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme could lead to more isolation for people with disabilities. The government aims to save $36 billion over four years by adjusting the scheme, including making it harder to qualify and reducing funding for social activities. Critics fear this will leave many people feeling alone and separated from their communities. The governments own NDIS reform advisory committee reportedly warned of potential harm and lack of consultation. The debate is heating up, with the Greens opposing the changes and the government needing support from the Coalition to pass the legislation.
