A participant's plan in operation. Thanks to the excellent team from #TheSustainableGardener, on a very, very cold #Canberra morning, an #NDIS participant supported by Community Connections receives assistance with the heavy lifting gardening work a quadriplegic could never do.

"NDIS overhaul: a solution to a $60bn cost blowout or an attack on the scheme’s soul?" To answer your question @GuardianAus it's an attack on #NDIS by people who'll 'outsource' anything to profit mates & who value nothing but themselves. @EveryAustralian https://t.co/ow9urDhtYK

Thank you @emmadavidsonACT. When ACT advisory council met #NDIS IAC we were asked what exemptions we could agree to but not told exemption from what? That isn't consultation or co-design @lindareynoldswa. There is no principle or trust. It's playing politics. @EveryAustralian

ACT Minister for Disability Emma Davidson - wearing a Hands Off The NDIS t-shirt - with not so subtle message ahead of crucial meeting on scheme’s future.

“There is absolutely no way we can agree in principle to what we are being asked to agree to”

Today, the Federal NDIS Minister, Linda Reynolds, will be asking State and Territory disability ministers to agree to wholesale changes to the NDIS Act...despite the fact that the...results of the most recent pilot of Independent Assessments expose it as an epic failure. #NDIS

VALID MEDIA RELEASE 9 July 2021
***Who do they think they’re kidding?***
We call on State and Territory Ministers to oppose the Federal Government’s attempt to push through changes that will...mandate untested and potentially dangerous robo-planning. #NDIS https://t.co/A78c4zRkCn
