One of the biggest challenges facing Australia’s National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is that it has become the primary go-to option for disabled individuals across the country, according to new NDIS Minister Bill Shorten, who said the system was only supposed to help those who were “profoundly impaired and severely disabled.”
The Labor minister is calling for state and territory governments to step up and provide a second-tier of services to take pressure off the system, which is currently seeing costs spiral every year.
