The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which costs $42 billion a year and has been growing at more than 10 percent a year, has finally delivered some good news for the government, spending $1 billion less than previously forecast in the 2024/25 federal budget.
Concern over the ballooning cost of the scheme led politicians to pass new laws, which came into effect last month, to cap growth at 8 percent per annum.
