The NDIA are making a HUGE amount of changes to the #NDIS - without talking to people with disability and families first.
So just like failed "independent" assessments, the details are only getting out because they’re in new tender docs. #DefendOurNDIS

209 days since vaccine rollout began in Oz.
How are we tracking for ppl w #disability who were prioritised Phase 1A & 1B & support workers?
Prioritised becos of risk; in UK:
- 60% of ppl who died of #COVID19 had disability
- ppl w intell disab 8x risk of dying of COVID
Everyone wants people with disability to be protected from #COVID19. But despite being first priority groups, and despite much higher risks of death - only about 40% of #NDIS participants have had two vaccine doses. And states like NSW will soon open up. https://t.co/jFmqxOcpsa
