Stop the cuts. Fix the system.

People with disability are being cut out of the NDIS supports we need to live ordinary lives, where we are included in our communities with real choice and control over our support. 

This is the moment to stand together and stop it.

 

What’s happening

Right now, changes to the NDIS will:

  • cut access to support

  • reduce supports for people already in the Scheme

  • remove support before suitable alternatives exist

  • shift …

Stop the cuts. Fix the system.

People with disability are being cut out of the NDIS supports we need to live ordinary lives, where we are included in our communities with real choice and control over our support. 

This is the moment to stand together and stop it.

 

What’s happening

Right now, changes to the NDIS will:

  • cut access to support

  • reduce supports for people already in the Scheme

  • remove support before suitable alternatives exist

  • shift pressure onto families, carers and kin

  • take away our choice and control over our supports 

  • create uncertainty and stress for people relying on support.

These are cuts. And they will leave people without support.

 

Why this matters

The NDIS exists so people with disability can live ordinary lives, participate in the community, and maintain independence and wellbeing.

When support is cut:

  • people are left without what they need

  • families, kin and carers are pushed to breaking point

  • mental and physical health risks increase

  • social connection and participation are reduced

  • pressure shifts to hospitals and crisis systems.

Need does not disappear. It gets shifted.



What’s driving this

These outcomes are not accidental.

They are the result of decisions being made without people with disability and without proper system design.

If we do not fix how decisions are made, this will keep happening.

 

What we’re calling for

We are standing together to say:

  • stop cuts to supports

  • ensure no support is removed before suitable alternatives exist

  • protect participation and inclusion supports

  • maintain our right to choose who provides our support

  • ensure review rights remain fair, accessible and effective in practice

  • embed genuine co-design with people with disability

  • be transparent, release the rules and the algorithm that will be used to calculate our budgets before voting on the Bill

  • fix the system so it works properly.

 

This affects all of us

  • people currently in the NDIS

  • people trying to access it

  • families, carers and kin

  • our workers

  • the broader community.

When the NDIS is weakened, the impact is felt everywhere.

The inquiry has been extended. Now let's fix the NDIS Bill.

We won more time because people spoke up.

Thousands of people with disability, families, carers and supporters called on Parliament to slow down and properly examine the NDIS Amendment Bill.

Together, we made a difference.

The Senate has agreed to extend its inquiry by eight weeks.

That is an important win for our community.

But the campaign isn't over.

Following community pressure, the Government has  agreed to some amendments, but they do not fix the Bill.

There are still serious questions that Parliament must answer before anyone votes.

The Government has not released the Rules that explain how many of these changes will work.

It has not published the modelling showing who will be affected.

People still don't know what support will exist if they lose access to the NDIS or have their supports reduced.

No one should lose support before real, funded and enforceable alternatives are in place.

The next eight weeks are our opportunity to make sure Parliament gets this right.

Tell decision-makers to use the inquiry properly. Your email will be sent to:

  • Melissa McIntosh
  • Angus Taylor
  • Alex Antic
  • Wendy Askew
  • Andrew Bragg
  • Dorinda Cox
  • Jane Hume
  • Maria Kovacic
  • Keryanne Liddle, and
  • Anne Ruston.

Ask Senators to use this extra time to oppose the NDIS Bill or fix it by implementing amendments to:

  1. Stop the Minister from imposing caps on essential NDIS supports under section 33(2EA), including caps on funding, support intensity, frequency, duration and worker-to-participant ratios.

  2. Stop the Minister from making across-the-board cuts to community participation and therapy supports under section 34A.

  3. Release the Rules and key legislative instruments before any vote including the budget algorithm that will sit behind the automated decisions.

  4. Publish impact modelling, to understand the real impact of the proposed cuts.

  5. Ensure no one is removed from the NDIS before real alternatives exist.

  6. Protect review rights and participant choice and control.

The NDIS was built on individualised support based on need.

That promise must not be replaced by hidden caps, broad Ministerial powers and cuts that put people at risk.

The inquiry extension happened because our community stood together.

Now we need to keep the pressure on.

Every email helps remind Senators that people with disability are paying attention and expecting Parliament to get this right.

Together, we've already made a difference.

The inquiry has been extended because people like you spoke up.

Now let's use this opportunity to protect the NDIS and ensure no one is left behind.

Stop It. Fix It. Protect the NDIS.
