The issue

Stop the NDIS from Failing the People It Was Meant to Support

The NDIS is quietly cutting essential supports — psychological services are being removed, support coordination hours slashed, and families left to navigate crisis alone. This isn’t reform. It’s abandonment.

We’re calling on the NDIA to restore non-clinical therapy supports, increase funding for coordination, and return the NDIS to what it was meant to be: a system built on dignity, choice, and real care.

Stand with us. Speak out. Demand change.

Who is impacted?
People with disability, their families, and the professionals who support them are being pushed to the brink by harmful NDIS changes. Participants are being told their plans no longer fund enough hours to access support coordination or psychological services. Parents are expected to navigate complex systems alone while already in survival mode. Trusted, non-clinical therapy supports are being cut, and the very people this system was built to serve are being left behind.

What is at stake?
If these changes continue, participants will face increasing crises with no one available to help. Small, ethical providers will be forced to turn people away. Psychological support that helps with emotional regulation, routines, and communication will disappear — replaced by impossible expectations to access care through Medicare, which is already stretched and inaccessible to many. This is not just inefficient — it is dangerous and will lead to greater long-term harm, trauma, and costs.

Why is now the time to act?
The NDIS is at a tipping point. Quiet, systemic changes are happening behind closed doors — without consultation, without transparency, and without regard for those affected. If we don’t act now, we risk losing the heart of the NDIS: real support, real choice, and real care. We must demand the reversal of these damaging decisions before more lives are impacted, more families are exhausted, and more services disappear.
