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

Submission 2055

Good morning,

I am writing because I am deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the NDIS.

The two week consultation period that has been provided is inadequate. Providing such a short consultation period contravenes the government’s own best practice policy on consultation, which recommends 30 to 60 days. Limiting consultation periods on such a large and important issue is gravely concerning, especially in light of the fact that many disabled people take longer to organise submissions due to cognitive differences, increased fatigue, need for support with understanding the issues and composing submissions, etc.

Shortening the consultation period amounts to excluding many disabled people.

I am also gravely concerned about the content of the Bill.

I honestly fear for my life if these changes are allowed to proceed.

Please do not pass the Bill in its current form. It removes rights, reduces choice and control and will harm disabled people in our community.

Kind regards,
