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

Submission 3861

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the NDIS Amendment Bill in its current form.

As an individual with two family members living with disabilities, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges they face every day. I am deeply concerned about the impact these proposed changes could have on their quality of life, health, wellbeing, and independence.

For many people living with disability, the consequences could be significant and potentially life-altering.

The NDIS Amendment Bill, as it currently stands, risks reducing participants’ rights, limiting choice and control, and creating additional barriers for people with disability. Rather than strengthening the NDIS and returning it to its original purpose, these changes may undermine the support and flexibility that participants rely on.

I am also concerned that there has not been sufficient time for meaningful consultation with disability representative organisations, advocates, and people with lived experience of disability. Any reforms to the NDIS should be developed in partnership with the disability community to ensure they genuinely address existing issues and improve outcomes for participants.

I urge you to reconsider the Bill in its current form and engage more extensively with people with disability and the organisations that represent them before proceeding with these changes.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my concerns and I would be happy to provide specific examples if required.
