The government intends to move 240,000 people off the National Disability Insurance Scheme, according to the Guardian. The plan could leave people who rely on the NDIS without access to services, as reported by gdelt. Centacare Queensland announced it will cease delivering NDIS‑funded disability services, affecting roughly 700 participants and placing the employment of more than 600 staff at risk, according to afdo.org.au. The decision follows an independent review that found Centacare’s current model was not financially sustainable, afdo.org.au added.
State and territory disability ministers said they cannot deliver like‑for‑like services to people who exit the NDIS. Ministers and states also warned that the changes could lead some people with disability to end up in hospitals or other inappropriate settings, or be shifted into hospitals, as confirmed by multiple news outlets.
