Son receiving an NDIS package and concerns about SIL funding

National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Getting the NDIS Back on Track No. 1) Bill 2024

Submission 275

My son has an NDIS package. If he goes into SIL does some of the payment for his rent etc come out of his disability pension? Also I am noticing that some parents are still collecting the carer’s allowance when their young person is in a SIL arrangement. Also I believe that NDIS should be means tested. There are millionaires receiving NDIS funding. There should be a sliding scale as to who benefits. More scrutiny should be applied to the service providers especially when it comes to report writing and travel to the client’s home. These 4 ideas will save the taxpayer and government a lot of money.
