National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026
Submission 1986
I am a: x Disabled person ☐ Family member / supporter ☐ Clinician / worker ☐ Other: ___________________
My main concern about this Bill is:
I believe this bill does not serve the disable communities best interests and is being passed as quickly as possible without input from the community itself.
These are unrealistic and stressful expectations to place upon a community that is already struggling.
This bill is harmful to a vulnerable community and is taking advantage of the fact a good portion of the disabled community cannot advocate for itself.
I ask that the Government withdraw this Bill
This Bill may affect me because:
- I enter long periods of being unable to communicate and advocate for myself due to my disability.
- Support is not always available to communicate on my behalf.
- These changes may lead to abuse by LACs where it is their word against the participants.
One example from my experience:
In regional areas support is hard to come by and LACs will simply go no contact for long periods.
As mentioned above, I enter long periods of not being able to advocate or communicate for myself thus I can see these changes causing me great stress and anxiety.
What I want the committee to understand is:
The disabled community can be hard to reach and time limits lead to mental and physical harm.

What may seem like something of no consequence to an allistic person can be a harrowing experience for someone like me.
My position on this Bill:
- ☐ I support it
- ✗ I do not support it
- ✗ I have serious concerns
Because: i don’t believe the disabled communities best interests and loved experiences are taken into consideration.
