NDIS

The Albanese government announced new measures for the NDIS that it says will put participants “back at the centre” of the scheme.

Hannah Diviney has addressed the National Press Club to call for better disability representation and for the next Minister for the NDIS to undergo empathy training.

The recent changes to the NDIS may undermine support for people with disabilities and marginalize their voices in the process.

Sex work funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) could be ruled out by proposed legislation from the Albanese government.

Women are under-represented as NDIS participants and over-represented as carers. But the NDIS review did not address it.

Four mums raising children with disabilities have cracked $1 million in funding through a Birchal equity crowdfunding campaign.

It’s important that we don’t disproportionately focus on the cost of the NDIS to the detriment of the overwhelmingly positive impact it has.

While men and women experience disability at similar rates, men are more likely to be diagnosed with disabilities that are more straightforward to gain access to the NDIS for.

It is understood that former MP and Labor frontbencher Jenny Macklin will sadly retire from Parliament at the next election– 22 years since first entering. 

Tony Abbott is set to become Australia’s next Prime Minister after leading the Coalition to a resounding victory at the ballot box.

DisabilityCare (or the former National Disability Insurance Scheme) will be of great benefit to Australians living with a long term disability who will now have access to a personalised support plan and necessary funding.
