Labor-led committee warns NDIS changes could limit support for 200,000+ participants
A Labor-led joint human rights committee has released a 57-page scrutiny report criticizing proposed changes to the NDIS as "retrogressive" and out of alignment with a landmark independent review. The report questions the human rights implications of winding back access for over 200,000 participants in the $50bn-a-year scheme, warning it could leave many without sufficient disability support. The findings come ahead of a separate Senate inquiry report due next week.
