The future of the NDIS \u2013 Australia\u2019s world-leading scheme to support people with disability \u2013 is in doubt because the costs are exploding.\n\nNow the federal government is acting. The Getting the NDIS Back on Track Bill proposes a massive overhaul of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, in order to rein in costs and provide greater clarity on program delivery. \n\nWhile the bill has been pitched as an improvement to access, program sustainability, and protections from unethical practices, many people with disabilities are concerned about whether their support will be continued, and if they are still eligible for the program.\n\nDisability Program experts Sam Bennett and Hannah Orban are joined by host Kat Clay, to discuss how the proposed changes will affect the NDIS. \n\nMore information on the Bill from the NDIS: https://www.ndis.gov.au/news/9975-getting-ndis-back-track\n\nSam Bennett and Hannah Orban assess the Bill: https://grattan.edu.au/news/battle-to-save-the-ndis-has-begun/\n\nFull transcript of the podcast: https://grattan.edu.au/news/will-this-bill-get-the-ndis-back-on-track/
