National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026 Submission 1700
To whole it may concern,
Regarding the The National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026. I provide my submission in partial rejection of the proposed bill.
This will be dangerous for human welfare, including the greater community. Not simply due to the physical and mental mental affects of NDIS providers and disabled people losing jobs, disabled people dying, the justice system losing the pipeline to prevent recidivism(I disagree with this use but they still need to go somewhere to prevent crime), families having to self fund care again, and also due to economic affects of removing the ndis-treasury on an Australia wide level which impacts our GDP and the greater budget.
This will lead to increased costs in other underfunded sectors including(but not limited to): hospitals, community programs, mainstream medical, justice system, case work, outreach programs. NDIS participants will go somewhere, not nowhere.
This will remove choice and control, as well as remove reasonable and necessary funding. The risk of harm will be significant. That disabled people and their families safety is being reduced down to an illusory economic barrier is beyond comprehension.
I don’t want to lose my job because I don’t have support. I don’t want to spend my life in a hospital again. I don’t want my family to go into debt paying for support workers. I don’t want to lose all my friends and ability to socialise. I don’t want to be unable to spend money in the community. I don’t want my support workers to become unemployed again because there is no work.
I want to contribute to my community. I want to work. I want to have a friend in the community. I want to spend money supporting local businesses. This bill threatens all of that and more.
Slash the artificial price guide. Control actual provider fraud. Price cap equipment. Actually do something about price gauging. Separate recidivism plans away from NDIS plans for disabled people who aren’t offenders. Create government based SDA, SIL, Individual living options(standalone houses with near-site support). Create a hub of equipment(so people return equipment for reuse when no longer needed, instead of sell it or dispose of it). No more private sector NDIS, Let’s make NDIS public.
Yes, things need to change, but not this way. Not this uncontrolled, not this un-informed, and not this rapidly(both in regards to the bill and also the post-bill plan implementation). This issue has been many years in the making, can we not give it the grace of giving it a few years of being “un-made”(into something more sustainable)?
With whole hearted thanks for considering the propositions by all affected,
