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

Submission 2026

NDIS Bill Senate Submission

NDIS Future Generations Bill 2026

My name is , I am a single disabled mother of two disabled children and all three of us are NDIS participants. The NDIS has been life changing for all of us and without the multiple supports we all receive, myself and my children would not have survived 7 months of homelessness in 2025.

I do not support this bill or any of the changes to the NDIS.

For myself, personally, I am able to attend physiotherapy, hydrotherapy that support and help manage my multifaceted lifelong disabilities. I’m also able to do grocery shopping and attend multiple medical appointments for myself and my children. I’m also supported with a cleaner and gardener which alleviates a huge amount of physical strain on me, as I am unable to do these tasks.

For my children it has meant being supported by OT’s, social workers, speech therapists which helps with self-regulation, behaviours, school attendance, life skills and being a part of the community.

If this bill passes, myself and my children have a high possibility of losing our plans and then losing access to community and supports ,this will have significant impact on us as a family, I will end up in hospital, unable to care and support my children and we all know the hospital system is overflowing and unable to cope at this point in time let alone when the government strips people’s plans away and this will cause the deaths of disabled people in our community, does the government want this to happen? Are the government ready to deal with the blood that will be on their hands because of their budget bill . This is Eugenics.

Over the years since I was diagnosed, I have withdrawn money from my superannuation, multiple times to finically assist myself to pay for private specialist. I am only on disability pension as I am unable to work, I pay for multiple private prescriptions which cost me $650 every 8-10weeks, depending on if I can lengthen out my medications, I struggle to pay for these medications,

so if my plan or my children’s plans were stripped away I won’t be able to afford any of what our NDIS plans provide us.

I understand there is fraud being committed but the vast majority is by providers and the three biggest plan managers not the participants. I may also remind the committee there is fraud committed in ALL systems, so why isn’t the government going after that fraud? I would also like to remind the committee that the NDIS makes money and that 25% tax on taxing gas corporations would help fund ongoing funding because people don’t suddenly stop being disabled or becoming disabled.

I need the committee to understand that the government demonising and throwing disabled people and the disability community under the bus and it is abhorrent and absolutely disgusting. We deserve to be able to access the world and live our lives fully supported. Nothing about us without us.

Thank you for taking the time to read my submission.

Kind Regards,
