75: Disability Advocate Jarrod Sandell-Hay on NDIS Price Cuts

What happens when support you rely on is at risk? In Episode 75 of Wellbeing Interrupted, I speak with disability advocate and NDIS participant Jarrod Sandell-Hay about the upcoming changes to NDIS pricing—and why they matter so much. Jarrod shares how Allied Health support has helped him stay well and independent, and why cuts to services could mean people miss out on the care they need. We talk about what’s changing, what it means for those living in regional areas, and how people with lived experience often feel unheard in decisions that directly impact their lives. This is a powerful reminder that these changes are personal—and that speaking up matters. If you LOVED this episode, make sure you share it on your Instagram stories and tag us @hurdle2hope!  KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS NDIS pricing changes risk reducing access to important Allied Health support. Regional and remote communities may be hit hardest due to fewer local options. People may have to stop therapy or pay out-of-pocket—if they can afford it. There’s growing concern that participants are being left out of key decisions. These changes highlight the need for stronger advocacy and collective action.  SHOW RESOURCES Sign the petition  https://www.itsnowornever.com.auFollow Teisha Rose on LinkedIn: Teisha-Rose | LinkedIn Follow Jarrod Sandell Hay on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jarrodsandellhay/  ABOUT THE GUEST Jarrod has a strong background in leading projects and working with different communities.
