The NDIS has been plagued with accusations of excessive expenses, mismanagement, and fraudulent activities, which has led to increasing demands for a system overhaul. Recently, Bill Shorten proposed a comprehensive reform during a pre-budget speech to the national press club in Canberra, emphasizing that the NDIS has lost its way.  While a panel of experts has been examining the 35 billion dollar scheme and is expected to submit a report later this year, Mr Shorten believes that a fresh policy direction can provide better outcomes for individuals with disabilities and ensure the NDIS’s future stability.

“We’ve got to update our system so that people with a disability only have to tell us their story once”. – Mr Bill Shorten, Minister for Government Services of Australia
