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

Submission 2074

To whom it may concern,

I oppose this Bill; in its current form it is harmful and should not be passed by Parliament.

My name is , I live in the South East Suburbs of Melbourne and work as an Allied Health Assistant supporting people with neurological disabilities and conditions, as well as a Support Worker who has spent the last 4 years working with a 5 year old to smash his goals, and learn to walk, eat and communicate.

I care about the NDIS because it changes lives. Every person I support is on the NDIS, and needs everything they have, if not more support to live their life.

I strongly oppose the new NDIS Bill.

The NDIS means my client is able to access a $120,000 piece of equipment that allows her to walk, equipment that without it, she is significantly limited in her daily capacity and mobility. The NDIS means my clients are able to access professional support outside of the already over burdened hospital system. The NDIS means my clients have access to their basic human rights.

With this new Bill, life changes drastically for my clients. The people who can’t afford to feed themselves lose their chance to work on their mobility goals. The people who can’t leave the house without another person remain isolated. The children who communicate differently stay separated from the rest of society.

I am worried about real people suffering irreparable harm directly as a result of this new NDIS Bill.

This proposed Bill in its current form is harmful and 100% should not be passed by Parliament.
