National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment

Securing the NDIS for Future Generations - Submission 1936 To Whom It May Concern,

I wish to formally express my opposition to the proposed changes contained within the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026. While I support the need for accountability, sustainability and fraud prevention within the NDIS,I do not support reforms that may reduce access to essential supports, create additional barriersfor participants, weaken review and appeal rights, or shift the scheme away from its originalpurpose of providing reasonable and necessary support to Australians living with disability.I am particularly concerned about: potential tightening of eligibility requirements; increased use of automated decision-making;reduced flexibility in participant plans and funding; limitations on reviews and appeals; the risk of vulnerable Australians losing critical supports and services.The NDIS was established to provide dignity, independence and equitable participation forpeople living with disability.Any reforms must be developed transparently,in genuineconsultation with participants,careers,families/providers/advocacy groups.I urge the Government and the Senate Committee to reconsider these proposed changes,undertake broader consultation,and ensure no participant is disadvantaged by reformsinstituted under a guise of sustainability.
