Podcasts about National Disability Insurance Scheme

Federal Parliament has returned for two final sitting weeks before a five-week long winter recess. Twin fights over proposed tax reform and an overhaul to the National Disability Insurance Scheme are set to dominate debate in the coming days.

The Albanese government is proposing major changes to the national disability insurance scheme – to cut spending and reduce the number of participants receiving care. Advocates and Australians with disabilities have heavily criticised the proposals during a three-day Senate inquiry this week. The shadow NDIS minister, Melissa McIntosh, speaks to political editor Tom McIlroy about her concerns about the legislation in its current form. The western Sydney MP also responds to One Nation's fundraising results this week, her political future in a seat that has been marked as one that could flip to Pauline Hanson's party, and Tony Abbott's endorsement of preference deals with the insurgent party Read more: We can't deliver ‘like-for-like-services' for people kicked off the NDIS, states warn Albanese government Labor's NDIS overhaul faces delay as Coalition and Greens consider teaming up to slow bill's passage

The federal government is trying to get sweeping changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme through parliament, but its plans have faced criticism.

Australians who use the National Disability Insurance Scheme are facing an anxious wait with political gridlock in Canberra. The Federal Government, Greens and Coalition have been considering post-budget measures on tax and the NDIS and there's just one sitting fortnight remaining before Parliament rises for a five-week Winter break. As negotiations continue, Tee Mitchell spoke with Dr Sam Bennett, the Disability Program Director at the Grattan Institute. Dr Bennett starts by addressing the elephant in the room which is what might happen if the proposed changes don't make it through the parliament.

The criticisms of Tuesday's federal budget have already started. Labor is facing allegations of broken promises over changes to negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount. And there is frustration in the electorate about the government's $50bn increase in defence spending over the next decade, while also significantly reducing the growth in NDIS spending. Political editor Tom McIlroy speaks to finance minister Katy Gallagher who, along with treasurer Jim Chalmers, is leading the decision making on a budget that claims to address intergenerational fairness – while also being responsible and resilient in an uncertain global environment

When the National Disability Insurance Scheme was created in 2013, it was proof that a rich society could find the money to help people living with a disability. This was social democracy at work. Twelve years on, it has turned into a $62 billion behemoth, on track to cost more than the age pension. The Albanese government last week admitted the scheme was at risk of collapse. It announced a root-and-branch overhaul to remove 300,000 Australians from the scheme in the space of a few years. The man leading the contentious reform agenda is Health Minister Mark Butler. The 55-year-old South Australian has emerged as one of Labor’s most energetic ministers, taking on big tasks in aged care, tobacco control and disability support.

The federal government is defending major reforms to the National Disability Insurance Scheme, aimed at slowing its rapid growth and saving up to 15 billion dollars a year by the end of the decade.

Late last week, NDIS Minister Mark Butler announced major changes to the NDIS, Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme, in an attempt to cut rising costs. Under the changes, every single person on the scheme will be reassessed from 2028, with a view to moving people with “lower needs” to other supports. In today’s podcast, we’ll explain the context to the government’s decision, the changes themselves and what the response has been.Hosts: Zara Seidler and Billi FitzSimonsProducer: Rosa Bowden Want to support The Daily Aus?

Autism advocate and researcher Clem Bastow argues the inclusive world disability advocates fought so hard for is being torn apart

Nearly 15 years after Julia Gillard introduced the national disability insurance scheme, the Albanese government announced the most significant reforms to the scheme on Wednesday. It's expected that the billions of budget savings will mean at least 160,000 participants will no longer be able to access the scheme within the next four years. The minister for disability, health and ageing Mark Butler speaks to political editor Tom McIlroy about how the cost of the NDIS became ‘not sustainable' and the material impact of the reforms on participants. Butler's announcements have already been widely criticised, and he responds the government's decision to announce sweeping cuts while also increasing defence spending considerably last week

The lion's share of attention this week has been on the National Disability Insurance Scheme, with the federal government announcing cuts that it's estimated will see tens of thousands removed from the scheme. But there have also been developments in aged care too- the federal government has now reversed its policy on the funding for showering after a mass of complaints from residents, families, and advocates.

Today, we are talking about one of the federal budget’s trickiest customers - the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Labor was once like a proud parent of the NDIS, but now even the minister in charge, Mark Butler, is describing the scheme as a honeypot for organised crime. Also this week, an inquiry about taxing offshore gas exports went kind of viral due to a David Pocock question about beer and an appearance from a podcaster called Punters Politics.

Er was deze week veel aandacht voor het National Disability Insurance Scheme, nadat de federale regering bezuinigingen aankondigde waardoor naar schatting tienduizenden mensen niet langer aanspraak kunnen maken op de regeling. Maar er zijn ook ontwikkelingen geweest in de ouderenzorg. Want de regering heeft haar beleid rond de financiering van hulp bij douchen teruggedraaid na een stortvloed aan klachten van bewoners, families en belangenbehartigers.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme was designed as a lifetime guarantee, ensuring eligible Australians receive the individualised support needed to live an ordinary life. In a major shift ahead of the May Budget, the government is moving to tighten spending, including a plan to remove 160,000 people from the NDIS. But for the families who rely on this funding for therapy and essential daily support, there is a growing fear that the safety net is being pulled back before public systems are ready to catch them. We're joined by ABC National Disability Affairs Reporter Nas Campanella to unpack what these changes actually look like in practice and whether the NDIS can be made sustainable without leaving our most vulnerable behind.
