The lives of Australians living with disabilities will be turned around thanks to the announcement of a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) by the Federal Government on Wednesday 10 August – the most significant reform to the disability sector in generations.
MS Australia welcomed the news on behalf of 20,000 people living with the devastating affects of multiple sclerosis (MS) and their families, and applauded the Government for their vision.
“The announcement is a win for Australians living with disabilities like MS, who have been calling on governments for many years to make this courageous decision,” MS Australia’s Manager of Policy and Community Partnerships Alan Blackwood said.
You have helped to make this happen by joining with us to support the national campaign for a National Disability Insurance Scheme and taking action by signing petitions, hosting DisabiliTEAs and visiting your local politician.
The development of the scheme will need a significant amount of cooperation between State and Federal Governments, and technical policy development. We trust that the State and Territory Governments will engage in this development with enthusiasm and goodwill.
