My name is redacted, I am a mother and full-time carer of two additional needs sons, and I am disabled myself.

I oppose planned cuts to NDIS because they are detrimental to: disabled individuals carers formal/informal supports dignity ability within community NDIS provides necessary supports allowing people improve lives/skills/accessing community/gaining employment contributing back society/economy Having been through NDIS personally/my kids/ART tribunal attesting lack of supports impacting me/us/husband/family unit Carer burnout for approximately three years with minimal family friend support NDIS continues pushing saying providing extra support children with disabilities parental responsibility or informal supports however we don’t have these supports disabled myself burnt out going beyond standard parent responsibilities daily exhausting making conditions worse negative impact on accessing community/work/paying taxes/caring own health wellbeing Further cuts likely land in hospital without care from husband quitting self-employed job Centrelink loss tax payments income further carer payment paid paying caring government-funded setting Requesting exhaust all options before access NDIS harmful inability financial access travel time accessing other supports families multiple children already burned-out need simplification running around GPs specialists 2 hours home costing thousands doing their therapies without pay These cuts risk eldest (12yo) having little/no support dropping school isolating very real suicide truly terrifying!
