National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026
Submission 2748
To the Committee,
My name is and I am writing to oppose the proposed NDIS Amendment Bill.
I am the aunt of a young boy who receives support through the NDIS. I am also someone who believes strongly that disabled Australians deserve the same opportunities, dignity and access to support as everyone else.
Watching my nephew’s journey has taught me a lot about disability. It has shown me how many barriers disabled people face, and how often families are left fighting systems that should be helping them.
The NDIS is not a luxury. It is not an extra. For many people, it is the difference between participating in their community and being excluded from it.
I have seen how the right supports can help a child access education, build relationships, develop skills and become more confident in themselves. I have also seen how much work families put in behind the scenes to make those outcomes possible.
As someone who cares deeply about disability inclusion, I am concerned by any proposal that could make supports harder to access or reduce the assistance available to people who rely on it.
A society should be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable members. Disabled Australians deserve support, respect and the opportunity to live meaningful lives.
I believe we should be strengthening the NDIS, not weakening it.
I urge the Committee to reject changes that could reduce supports for disabled Australians and their families.
Yours sincerely,
