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

Submission 1486

To whom it may concern

I have 4 young children I have 1 child on ndis for asd level 2 and serve depression, another child on for asd level 2 and myself for serve psychosocial and now been diagnosed with asd level 2 and also a intellectual disability. My husband works full-time and long hours and is the only one bringing in an income which isn’t a lot, i’m unable to work as my son is not having four days at school due to his behaviours plus appointments for him himself and my daughter. Ndis has been amazing for myself and my children and have been very grateful. If you stop the funding for myself and my family I’m so worried what impact it will have not only on myself but all my children’s mental health everyday Is a battle physically and emotionally especially on my children who don’t have ASD they cop the brunt of it all including me, daily I’m dealing with aggression, anger, suicidal threats meltdowns, breaking things, school refusal. If you take the support away, what am I supposed to do?

If i no longer have support to attend outine medical appointments, will those health issues escalate to be treated late and more expensively through public hospitals when people lose the support that helps them regulate emotions and safely participate in the community, do police become the new behaviour support practitioner. Will Medicare now be funding a Mental Health Care Plan for every person in your family? You have forgotten to mention when you’re slamming us participants on the ndis in the media, when every dollar spent $3 goes back into the economy.
