Disability advocacy services at risk, as the New South Wales government proposes funding cuts to the sector

On 1 July the nation-wide rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme began. By the time it’s fully implemented in 2019 it’s estimated 460,000 people with disability will receive a support package. The $22-billion-per-year scheme, twice the size of the previous system, has been largely welcomed by the disability sector, promising more support for more people.  But not all Australians with disability will benefit – some will be eligible but won’t receive the support they are entitled to, while others simply aren’t covered despite having “significant and ongoing support needs”. In the second episode of a three-part series, Not for Podcast investigates Who’s Missing Out on the NDIS? Download the transcript here. Featured in this episode: Professor Karen Fisher, from the Social Policy Research Centre at the University of New South Wales Damian Griffis, CEO of First Peoples Disability Network.
