National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026

Submission 1224

Submission for the NDIS Amendment Bill

Name:

I am a disabled person and NDIS participant. The NDIS has helped me to access education, have community participation, and transportation to be able to access services and medical appointments.

I am concerned about this Bill causing disabled people to lose and/or be denied support they need. Current assessment processes and eligibility criteria already prevent disabled people from accessing support they need, harsher processes will cause further harm, especially for autistic people when assessors don’t have comprehensive understanding of how needs fluctuate and the extent of how disabling autism and other disabilities can be.

I do not support this bill because it will harm people I care about by denying them the supports they need and focuses on the wrong issues.

Thank you for your time spent reading my submission.
