Disability advocates decry delayed NDIS reform report as government seeks to curb scheme's growth

A parliamentary inquiry into proposed reforms to the $56 billion National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has delayed its report, drawing criticism from disability advocates who call the delay "disrespectful." The Albanese government is pushing for changes to curb the NDIS's "unsustainable" growth by clawing back billions in savings, which could result in tens of thousands of participants being removed from the scheme. Disability organisations are anxiously awaiting the inquiry's judgement on the proposed overhaul.
