Impact of NDIS changes on mental health and wellbeing (Family or carer experience)

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

Submission 968

As a mother of two adults on the NDIS I am keenly aware of the stress and unce1iainty the review of the NDIS is causing.

Please consider the impact of the proposed changes to the NDIS on people with disability and their families. I ask that you listen to the voices of people with disability and do not pass this Bill without major changes. The proposed amendments remove safeguards, reduce flexibility, and will negatively impact lives.

The NDIS was built on choice and control. This Bill weakens those principles and risks harming vulnerable Australians in its cunent fonn. I am deeply concerned that the fear and unce1iainty caused by the proposed NDIS changes will have a lasting negative impact on the mental health and wellbeing for many people with disability and their families.

Please do not suppo1i the Bill in its cunent f01m .

I am happy to be involved in any f01lllllS and discussions regarding this matter.

Best wishes

Janette Gee
