I am opposed to any cuts to the NDIS and any changes that may reduce funding to current participants, or make it more difficult for disabled people to become participants.

• Communication and accessibility
• Administrative burden

Submission 4003

• ☐ Crisis situations / “not contactable” rules

• ☐☐ Children / families / early intervention

• ☐ Eligibility or assessment changes

• ☐ Other: ___________________

For each concern you choose, write:

Loss or reduction of supports: if I or people I know lose support now we may not be able to access it again.

Community participation: this is NOT a privilege. Disabled people deserve support enabling them to access social, community and leisure activities to prevent isolation and mental/physical health consequences.

Children/families/early intervention: cutting funding largely to families with young children places greater pressures on parents/caregivers. For children with developmental disabilities, early support is crucial. Removing supports reduces parents and families’ time, energy and freedom.

5. What I want the committee to understand

Many disabled people and their families are already undersupported as it is. Adequate support is non-negotiable.

6. My position on this Bill

I am opposed to any bill that may cut NDIS funding.
