NDIS changes ‘retrogressive’ and out of step with review, MPs say
A Labor-led joint human rights committee report criticizes proposed NDIS changes as 'retrogressive' and misaligned with a landmark review, warning that cuts to the $50bn scheme could reduce support for over 200,000 participants. The committee raised concerns about human rights implications of restricting access to disability support.
