The article by Gary Kerridge in the "More Information" section in the blog post will give you some insights to the system which was supposed to be helpful for people with disabilities and their families but has become adversarial in so many ways. It has become such a bureaucratic burden that many people have been unable to deal with it and many have just given up or not bothered. Then the government claims that there was an NDIS underspend. What is really happening, is a government system that places barriers to access it so people are not able to spend. The irony and frustration! All this while cutting funding to diability advocacy services which are already overwhelmed.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-71090761673574174812020-01-07T11:14:23.066+10:302020-01-07T11:14:23.066+10:30Indeed Betty!

I am hoping that once the NDIS gets up and running properly for me, life will get easier.Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-43114766667065128142020-01-07T11:12:09.283+10:302020-01-07T11:12:09.283+10:30Hi Meredith,

The current government prioritises economic issues over human ones and the agencies contracted to carry out the NDIS administration are driven by quantitative KPIs rather than qualitative ones. Good examples are in the article by Gary Kerridge cited under the heading "More Information" at the end of the post.<br /><br />The NDIS is a total reorganisation and federalisation of disability support services in this country. Due to ableism, ignorance, economic rationalism, bureaucratic mentality or other reasons, some of the key people in the chain seem to have missed the memo about the aims of the scheme and intent of the legislation but there is hope!Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-52004480730924872892020-01-06T07:14:14.941+10:302020-01-06T07:14:14.941+10:30I am not sure what is happening for you, but I kno...I am not sure what is happening for you, but I know you don't use four letter words willy-nilly.
