NDIS Future Generations Bill 2026
I urge the committee to reject the NDIS Future Generations Bill. The proposed changes threaten the rights, dignity, and autonomy of people with disabilities, rolling back decades of progress.
Key Concerns: Cuts to Participation: Slashing social and community access will isolate individuals, undoing inclusion. Erosion of Rights: Removing appeal mechanisms strips people of recourse against unjust decisions. Forced Provider Restrictions: Mandating registered providers limits choice, contradicting the NDIS’s founding principles.
The NDIS, imperfect but vital, recognizes their equal worth.
Reject all cuts to participation supports. Guarantee appeal rights no unchecked bureaucratic power. Preserve provider choice, including unregistered options.
Passing this bill would betray Australia’s commitment to disability rights. Please do not allow this bill to pass.
As well as the above the reason these cuts are being made is obviously lack of money, plenty of which is continually being wasted by the government. I feel the rorting which is rampant both by providers and undeserved clients hasn’t been at all well monitored by the government departments who were put in place to protect and help disabled people. If the system was operating as it should be these cuts may not be required. Do not pass this but tidy up the mess it is in.
