Summary
Late last week, NDIS Minister Mark Butler announced major changes to the NDIS, Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme, in an attempt to cut rising costs. Under the changes, every single person on the scheme will be reassessed from 2028, with a view to moving people with “lower needs” to other supports. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain the context to the government’s decision, the changes themselves and what the response has been.
