A comment on the family experience of the Australian National Disability Insurance Scheme

Abstract

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is a scheme that the Australian Government designated to fund costs associated with disability. The scheme was legislated in 2013 and went into full operation in 2020. Prior to 2013, disability funding in Australia had typically been a block type system, where agreed funds were distributed directly from the government to the service providers according to predicted output. The aim of this article is to shine a light on the current consumer experience of parents of young children with a disability. When addressing families’ challenges and needs – does the NDIS offer families control, controlled choice or do support needs remain unmet?
