National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026
Submission 2808
Submission on the NDIS Amendment Bill
Name: Jamie Pingo
I am a: Family member / supporter
My main concern about this Bill is:
Lack of consideration about the ability to access the plans, if they’re not able to be contacted for valid reasons. Additionally, more standardisation/automation will result in automatic rejections of people who would be otherwise able to be helped
This Bill may affect me / people I support because:
● Reduced access ● Reduced ability to assess/reassess
What I want the committee to understand is:
That it’s an uphill battle always and that reducing ability to access is not the solution. I understand that there’s a lot of financial issues surrounding it, but the solution is finding funds elsewhere, not reducing access, because the amount of people needing that access isn’t really going to be reduced.
My position on this Bill: ☐ I have serious concerns
Because:
I think it fails to consider the human side of accessing the systems and how difficult it is already.
