Nick Coatsworth questions NDIS funding amid healthcare cost pressures at The Australian Financial Review Healthcare Summit

Without big changes, escalating costs will leave the nation with a fracturing system unable to withstand inevitable demographic pressures of an ageing population.

Sorry, what is out of control? For every dollar spent on NDIS, you get that back + more. Try that with your billionaire welfare, Mark Butler. fyi @[email protected] @[email protected] it writes itself, really. #NDIS #disability #AusPol

Funny how Nick Coatsworth isn't advocating for billionaires to pay their way like @[email protected] do. It's as if he's in their pockets. As. If. #disability #NDIS #AusHealth #AusPol
Am thinking I will die before I get the NDIS. The government seems to be slow on targeting criminal providers and very quick to throw up barriers to disabled people trying to access the scheme. #NDIS
The NDIA spent $60 million on external legal firms in 2024-25 to fight participants appealing cuts to their plans. #AusPol #Disability #NDIS

Disability agency adds nearly ...
NDIS agency hired 70pc of all new federal public servants last year

The agency that runs the National Disability Insurance Scheme defends hiring nearly 2,000 new employees last year despite major changes being rolled out to rein in the program's cost. 

@kelpieunicorns.bsky.social Yes, hello Australia, are disability providers ready for worsening climate events? We already know the answer to that question, don’t we? 🐨⛈️🔥🤯😂 #disability #NDIS

Peter waited six months for a new wheelchair on the NDIS. By the time it arrived, it was obsolete

Exclusive: Participants in the disability scheme are waiting more than 100 days for vital support due to delays in processing plan variations, documents show

Clear, honest, information about NDIS changes is not happening. An FOI requesting regarding Palantir + NDIS via @[email protected] made Feb 6 has not been answered. By law, it's meant to be answered by March 6. www.righttoknow.org.au/request/pala... #NDIS #Palantir fyi @[email protected]

Old situation which I wouldn't believe is necessarily the case anymore - NDIA & NDIS processes, policies & attitudes cause so much stress, anxiety & depression through reducing supports & fighting for adequate help: ABC News: NDIS participants work more and feel better after accessing the scheme https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-25/ndis-participants-work-more-and-feel-better/106490952 #AusPol #NDIS #Disability
NDIS participants work more and feel better after accessing the scheme

New analysis by the e61 Institute, which tracks NDIS participants over more than a decade, finds substantial improvements to their workforce participation and self-reported energy levels within four years of accessing the taxpayer-funded scheme.
