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

Submission 2112

This Submission relates to Section 25B Alternative Support Requirements.

This Bill should not pass until governments have established a strong tier of ‘foundational supports’ - disability-specific supports outside of individual NDIS packages-to ensure that disabled people get the appropriate supports when and where they need them. All governments should use their existing NDIS contributions to fully fund foundational supports, delivering these services within the current NDIS funding envelope. It is not right or just to legislate cuts to funding the NDIS assuming that people with disabilities who the government no longer deems to be eligible for NDIS support packages,are told that they can be helped by alternative support programs that are underdeveloped and underfunded Regards redacted: s47(3)(a)
