Although the NDIS Review set out a five-year timeframe for reform, many of the items within this bill are needed to modify the NDIS Act and to allow for changes to take place.
Women are under-represented as NDIS participants and over-represented as carers. But the NDIS review ignored them.
Both the royal commission and NDIS review recommendations say big changes are needed so people with disability can live where and with who they want – and be free from abuse, neglect and exploitation.
