NDIS Cuts Threaten Inclusion

from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

NDIS faces major funding cuts—up to 50% for social and community programs—that could devastate lives like Joe’s, a 22-year-old with Down’s syndrome who’s thrived through barista training and community gardening. These programs, which teach vital life skills disguised as fun, are critical for inclusion and independence, yet now under threat as the government seeks to slash billions to protect core daily supports. Advocates warn the cuts could push participants toward isolation, not integration, jeopardizing the very progress the NDIS has helped build.
