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

Submission 1526

Please do not pass the NDIS Amendment Bill in its current form. It removes rights, reduces choice and control, and will harm people with disability in my community.

I am an NDIS client and am so very stressed about what the new NDIS will look like. I am currently going through an ARK at the moment regarding things NDIS has been supporting since I became a client when NDIS came to The Central Coast NSW.

Having to prove all over again the relevance to my disability and why I need these items is such a waste of money…all the new reports, meetings with my COS and writing impact statements that I have written before is causing me so much stress and anxiety to say nothing about PTSD! I am an incomplete Quadriplegic 40 years post injury. I am not going to get better!!

I am retired after returning to work 20 months after my accident. Since retiring I do a lot of volunteer work each week so I support my community even though I don’t do paid work anymore. I am at my wit’s end and am worried about what all this is doing to my mental health?
