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

Submission 2002

Submission on the NDIS Amendment Bill

I am a Disabled person with friends, community members and clinicians who are disabled.

My main concern about this Bill is the Increased use of administrative or automated systems, Changes to reassessments and plan reviews, Changes to how funding for supports can be adjusted, Increased administrative and compliance requirements and “Not contactable” and participant engagement rules.

This bill will effect the people I care for because its imposing tighter timeframes for communication or responses, Reduced flexibility during crisis or changing circumstances, it will change how decisions about supports are made

and make the system less flexible in it’s responding to individual circumstancesThe level of human review in decision-making processes.

It will also give more expectations to respond to requests from the NDIA. All these things are not support or appropriate way to treat disabled people who need care.

What I want the committee to understand is that disabled people even with NDIS supports are still suffering and struggling. Making the NDIA/NDIS more difficult for disabled people to acess support is NOT the answer.

My position on this Bill

I do not support it and I have serious concerns Because the Increased use of administrative or automated systems, changing to funding and compliance requirements on the disabled community who are already vulnerable and need support.
