[3/3] Billions are being pulled from the NDIS and sold back to us as “reform.”
Children don’t thrive when their supports are cut — they thrive when governments listen.

Algorithm to be used for NDIS plans The government is using an ‘instrument’ designed by the University of Melbourne to reassess support payments for disabled people.

Labor's decision to go ahead with a new NDIS assessment tool is going to cause immense harm to People with Disability.

Glad to see Rick Morton highlighting how People with Psychosocial Disability are being targeted.

How people are assessed for the NDIS is changing. Here’s what you need to know Instead of collecting evidence and submitting reports, participants will have an interview with an assessor that lasts up to three hours.

"How people are assessed for the NDIS is changing. Here’s what you need to know".

The thought of being assessed by a stranger is scary and likely to traumatise and cause harm, but Keep Calm and Carry On pfft.

The NDIS could save billions with this change, expert says As the Albanese government seeks to rein in the cost of the NDIS, a former Australian of the Year says money could be saved with this one shift.

Patrick McGorry and Ian Hickie are scum and don't speak for me or my mates with Psychosocial Disability on the NDIS.

This feels like a repeat of when they attacked Medicare Better Access in 2011 in order to divert funding to Headspace.

Mental health conditions could also face cuts under NDIS overhaul Participants with psychosocial disabilities could be taken off the scheme in the next phase of Labor’s plans to cut its growth rate.

"Mental health conditions could also face cuts under NDIS overhaul".

When the NDIS turns off the music After surviving a devastating brain injury, music therapy has given this NDIS client a chance to communicate with the world, but cuts to the scheme could end all that.

The NDIA announcement about music and art therapies being cut was disgusting. Gonna be interesting to see what health economist Dr Stephen Duckett says in his review, which was instigated due to the backlash from the Disability Community.
