Concerns regarding NDIS cuts to social participation support (Family or carer experience)

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

Submission 1523 My name is Eden McColl, I have a child with a disability, and I am deeply concerned about the changes this government proposes making to our NDIS. I am writing to you to oppose the new bill. As a parent I am extremely concerned for my child’s future. So, I ask the committee to listen to families of disabled persons and consider their experiences before deciding on any changes. My child should have safe access to society; these rights could all become endangered if we accept suggested reductions within the NDIS system.

  • The committee must either refuse those suggestions which would decrease opportunities in terms of social & communal engagement;
  • Or ensure individuals who are disabled can participate fully through an appeals procedure where ministers cannot make cuts unilaterally.
