A sketch of the main facade of the Australian Parliament beside a quote on the left that reads "By reducing flexibility and tailored supports, the Bill risks limiting genuine choice and control and may, in practice, drive more standardised service delivery models that promote or maintain segregation and institutionalisation, rather than supporting inclusion in the community." Quote attributed to Ausralian Human Rights Commission Submission to the Senate Enquiry in NDIS Amendment Bill.

Tightening NDIS eligibility will disproportionately affect women – in more ways than you’d expect
Women are already less likely to access the NDIS for their disabilities than men and more likely to be carers.

"If you don't have a diagnosis, a potential risk is that you end up with discretionary assessments and a discretionary kind of triage system.
