NDIS participants hitting a bureaucratic brick Wall
The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, will ask the Prime Minister the following in Question Time today.
“Prime Minister, the NDIS is obviously a great reform, but just as obviously too many people trying to access the Scheme are hitting a bureaucratic brick wall.
“For example there’s the long wait to get an NDIS planner, problems staying in touch with the planner once you get one, and difficulties understanding the finished plan.
“Moreover reasonable requests are too often denied. And it’s especially telling that the NDIA is spending $10m a year on legal battles to try and stop people getting funding, fights it’s often losing.
“Prime Minister, what will you do to fix the NDIS?”
WHEN: Approximately 2:15pm TODAY 29 May
