160,000 Australians to be cut from NDIS

The Australian government plans to remove more than 160,000 people from the NDIS through major reforms aimed at reducing spending. Changes include stricter eligibility requirements, reassessment of all current participants, average plan reductions of $5,000, and a new digital payment system to monitor transactions. State governments will need to absorb the responsibility and costs for those moved off the scheme, raising concerns about adequate support systems and the treatment of vulnerable Australians with disabilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
