National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026 Submission 274
To whom it may concern,
I am an ex-participant and parent of a participant.
After a traumatic childhood, and a series of psych ward admissions where I was abused, mistreated and where the staff criminally violated laws against me, by a miracle I was still hopeful for my life and future achievements.
I was in temporary housing and had just been accepted into a social work degree. Life felt good.
Then I was moved to Norlane, my daughter’s package was swallowed back up into their system for reasons of greed.
Alone in an unfamiliar environment, I was about to re enrol when my friends’ autistic child had a stroke, and the tried to let her stroke to death. They were negligent in their treatment of her and I felt a sense of duty to assist and protect.
My studies were delayed again, as I learned to spend time apart from MY autistic child, whom I was now terrified of something happening to.
After two years I was able to walk around the block without her without panicking.
I entered the NDIS with hopes of getting around the University as my parent had had to help me get around previously . Although the disability help had been great at the University, I was now accumulating more and more trauma every time I tried to find help in australian institutions.
The NDIS abusively brushed me off and put me into an art course for intellectually disabled people. I was mistreated by the director. For trying to make him follow his own policies and rules.
The NDIS FORBADE me to even enrol into University. I lost five more years of my life to doing menial art projects although I was attached to the people there.
Then, this was cut. I had a life threatening breakdown. Went to Barwon health only to have them break the law five times within 45 min to avoid taking responsibility or spending money on human need.
That breakdown has taken seven years to recover from. As you would expect following so much systemic violence I struggle with self worth. I’ve lost any chances of a career or income because deficient Australian institutions have repeatedly abused and neglected me.
I have gone from an enthusiastic, ambitious twenty something to quite frankly an extremely angry and destructive forty something.

If you are so rude and entitled to believe that my profoundly disabled daughter does not deserve EVERY SCRAP SHE HAS, then there is a serious and incurable problem within you.
Yours faithfully,
