Our analysis of part-time work and its impact on wellbeing shows getting more people with disability into employment could save millions in health-care costs.
Gaps between health systems can mean NDIS participants at the end of their lives don’t have the support of their regular NDIS support workers.
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder can cause problems with movement, behaviour or learning or a mix of these. In communities where alcohol use is high, a focus on FASD is warranted.
The new guideline was developed by a group of researchers, clinicians, and autistic people. They consulted with more than 1,000 community members.
People with disabilities have a right to choose where and who they live with. Too many are currently in vulnerable arrangements.
Making it possible for NDIS participants to choose registered or unregistered providers affords the ‘dignity of risk’.
A serious disability is one of the most common reasons people apply for social housing. The long wait for a suitable home just adds to the daily challenges they face.

NDIS participants want to call the shots when it comes to everyday support. And they want to be treated like people, not commodities.
Some NDIS participants worry if they don’t spend their annual funds, they won’t be offered the same supports in their next plan – and it’s harder for some to use what they’ve been allocated.
