Organisations Ready to Discuss Potential NDIS Changes

Today, Minister Butler is set to deliver an important speech about the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). In anticipation, several leading organisations have announced their readiness to provide expert commentary on the scheme and its potential changes.

Children and Young People with Disability Australia (CYDA) is one such organisation prepared to comment. Skye Kakoschke-Moore, the CEO, will speak on behalf of CYDA.

CEO Darryl Steff from the Down Syndrome Australia Consortium is also available to offer insights.

Representing Inclusion Australia, CEO Maeve Kennedy is set to discuss the implications of potential NDIS changes.

Accessing Expert Commentary

Emma Bennison from the Disability Advocacy Network Australia (DANA) is available to discuss potential NDIS adjustments and their impact on service users.

Kerry Hawkins, the CEO of Community Mental Health Australia (CMHA), is prepared to explore the ramifications of potential NDIS changes.

Priscilla Brice, CEO of the National Mental Health Consumer Alliance (NMHCA), will provide expert perspectives on the scheme.

Megan Spindler-Smith, Acting CEO of People with Disability Australia (PWDA), is another available expert.

These organisations are poised to offer valuable insights into how potential NDIS changes could affect Australians with disabilities. Their expertise is crucial as the NDIS impacts a wide range of communities across the country.

This initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that the voices of those most affected by the NDIS are heard and considered in any forthcoming policy changes.
