NDIS Automation Risks Exposed

The Commonwealth Ombudsman has issued a stark warning against the government’s plan to slash $35 billion from the NDIS using automated decision-making — echoing the Robodebt disaster — risking unfairness, harm to participants, and wasted taxpayer money. While the government claims automation will boost efficiency and sustainability, the ombudsman insists integrity must come first. The NDIS agency could remove thousands of participants and cut support for others, with already high complaint rates likely to worsen without strict oversight. The Greens have pushed back with amendments to increase transparency and accountability, though they still oppose the bill. The Coalition has signaled support for a sustainable NDIS — but only if participant safety and safeguards remain non-negotiable.
