NDIS Under Fire: Cuts and Controversy | Sydney News

The NDIS is on the brink of major cuts that could leave hundreds of thousands vulnerable—facing up to $30 billion in savings over four years, slashing community funding by 50% and therapy budgets by 10%. Advocates warn this risks isolating people with disabilities, even comparing it to imprisonment at home. While the government claims reforms target fraud and mismanagement, critics say the bill lacks teeth—and worse, gives the minister unchecked power to slash any funding stream. With Senate hearings ending and a vote looming, support from parties like the Greens is lacking, leaving the future of the NDIS uncertain for those who rely on it.
