Ok lets take a "gloves off" approach to this mess... They’ve turned the slow leak into an art form. Drip-feeding changes like some Orwellian trickle of “trust us” nonsense. They release these so-called reforms just slowly enough that we barely realize we’re being boiled alive in a pot of bureaucracy & compliance checks. They’ve set it up so we never get to see the whole ugly picture all at once. Instead, it's carefully fragmented, marketed like it's in our best interest, when, in reality, they’re chipping away at what NDIS was supposed to be – choice, control & actual support. If the reforms are supposed to be for our benefit, why do they always come packaged like a bad surprise party, with us as the last ones to find out? What are they hiding under all that “consultation” talk? If they’re so committed to “independence” and “individual choice,” why does every new policy make people more dependent on their approval, more monitored, more controlled? Are they helping or just holding the leash a bit tighter? Why does every so-called "improvement" to NDIS feel like it strips a little more dignity, & a little more autonomy? Is there any point at which they’ll stop pretending it’s about empowerment? How exactly did “privacy” become a quaint notion, sacrificed at the altar of “data gathering”? Is there any amount of personal info they won’t collect in the name of efficiency? Let’s be honest, when did “PACE” stop being about real pace & start meaning “Painfully Applied Compliance Experiment”? What kind of system is this when the people it’s supposed to support spend more time fighting for their rights than actually benefiting from the support? If these reforms are really about “cutting costs” & “increasing transparency,” why is it only the recipients who are constantly scrutinized? Who’s looking at where all that NDIS budget actually goes between well over 100 agencies, departments and trusts funds across all levels of government? #FutureFund #Disabilitycare #FederalRelations #FraudFusionTaskforce #DSS #Treasury #finance #ServicesAustralia #NDISCommission #NDIA Comply with every new rule & lose autonomy bit by bit, or resist & risk losing access altogether. Is that a choice, or coercion by another name? Who benefits when everything becomes standardized, monitored, and data-driven? The participants or the policymakers who now get to make every decision under the guise of “efficiency”?

We've now released our first consultation paper on the legislative reforms that will strengthen our regulatory powers (Bill No. 2), which is available to download from our Reform Hub: https://bit.ly/3YBoFhE in Word and Easy Read formats. The legislative reform has three focus areas: 👉 penalty framework and statutory requirements 👉 safeguarding measures 👉 information gathering powers. We'll be inviting your feedback shortly - we want to know what you think of the proposed changes and how we can help NDIS participants, providers and workers understand how it will impact them. No changes or transition to mandatory registration will occur before 1 July 2025.

1moIf “independent assessments” are so wonderful, why don’t the policymakers subject themselves to one before they tell the rest of us how “necessary” they are?
