Many people in the disability community are distressed by the plan to register all NDIS providers. There could be a more nuanced approach that preserves their wishes.
Washer-dryers and Thermomixers might not seem like disability supports at first glance. But excluding them from NDIS funding could limit the independence of people with disability.
