A rebooted disability system should deliver baseline services to all people with a disability, especially children, rather than focus on individual NDIS packages.
A rebooted Australian disability system should focus on delivering baseline services for all people with a disability and move away from individualised National Disability Insurance Scheme packages, particularly for young children, as cost blowouts threaten the scheme’s future.
One part of the NDIS that requires “a complete an urgent rethink” is how it deals with children, Bonyhady will say.20 per cent of children have learning difficulties, developmental concerns or disabilities. “What has become clear is that – often without intending to – governments, service providers, and some people with disability and their families, have all started to treat the NDIS as a limitless resource,” Bonyhady will say.
Bonyhady will say that he and Paul were considering abolishing the three-tier system currently adopted by the NDIS. “That approach prioritises the delivery of individualised support to the minority of people with disability who are NDIS participants,” he said.
