People with Disability Australia (PWDA) has called the passing of the NDIS Amendment Bill through the Senate “devastating,” citing deep concerns about its impact on NDIS participants and the disability community. PWDA believes these changes will make it harder for people with disability to access the essential supports they need to live full and independent lives.

PWDA President Marayke Jonkers said the new changes will severely restrict access to the NDIS and supports people with disability rely on.
