What does the Albanese Government’s landslide re-election mean for the future of the NDIS?
In this special live episode of Reasonable & Necessary, Dr George Taleporos is joined by leading disability advocates El Gibbs, Trinity Ford and Anna Burke to unpack the political shake-up and what it means for people with disability.
Hosted in partnership with People with Disability Australia (PWDA), this first ever live episode brings the disability community into the room for a powerful conversation about our new parliament and the future of our NDIS.
The panel discusses:
- The implications of the NDIS being moved to the Health, Disability and Aged Care and Disability
- Delays to Foundational Supports and concerns about new impairment notices
- The need to stop the flow of people into group homes under the NDIS
- The impact of funding periods and prescriptive support lists
- Why co-design must be more than a buzzword and what it takes to make it real
They also reflect on the importance of unity across the disability advocacy sector and why lived experience must remain at the centre of reform.
As El Gibbs said:
“The Prime Minister said very clearly in the election campaign that they’re not going to leave anyone behind, and I’m going to take him at his word—that includes us, includes our community, and includes that changes can’t leave any of us behind.”
Tune in now to hear what’s next for the NDIS and how we keep the government to its word.
