The Federal Government has today released the Productivity Commission's report into Disability Care and Support.

In a media conference today, the Prime Minister announced that $10 million would be allocated immediately to begin on the road to a National Disability Insurance Scheme, which could take around 7 years to be fully implemented.

The Summer Foundation welcomes this progressive reform and the opportunity provided to stop the flow of young people into nursing homes, supporting their choices about where to live and whom to live with, realising their potential and enabling them to maintain their roles as mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, daughters and sons.
