NDIS: When the System Becomes the Barrier

The National Disability Insurance Scheme was built on the promise of choice, control, and meaningful support for people with disability. But what happens when accessing that support becomes a full-time job? In this episode, Bron unpacks the growing gap between what the NDIS was designed to be-and what families are actually experiencing. From the hidden emotional and administrative load placed on parents, to the very real consequences of systems that don’t talk to each other, this is an honest look at what it means to navigate disability support in Australia right now. Bron also dives into the recent national conversation around NDIS “sustainability,” questioning what reform really means-and who it’s truly serving. This episode is for parents, educators, and anyone who’s ever felt like they’ve had to fight just to be heard. Because support shouldn’t feel like survival.
