National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment (Securing the NDIS for Future Generations) Bill 2026
Submission 4207
I am writing to you regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme Amendment Bill.
I am a Care Critical Care Registered Nurse, working in one of the largest and busiest Intensive Care Units in Australia.
My main concern about this Bill is that:
People living with disability will experience further barriers to being able to live a life of mental illness/mortality Creates further strain on unpaid carers, such as friends and family, leading to carer burnout Creates an additional and unnecessary burden on an already overwhelmed public healthcare system What I want the committee to understand is that everyone in Australia is entitled to have a good quality of life, particularly those living with disability and this is why the NDIS was created for.
I do not support this bill. I have serious concerns about cutting NDIS funding and making it overall more difficult to access for people living with disability living in our communities. It will lead to a poor quality of life and poor outcomes for this demographic, an issue that enters through the doors of the already struggling public health sector - let the NDIS do its job, so we can keep doing ours!
