“Now the responsibility is once again on me to understand what happened and fight the decision.” After asking the NDIS for more support, an autistic person’s funding was cut. The process should not be a barrier. 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV9... #DocumentTheDamage #ProtectOurNDIS

A budget on paper doesn’t get someone out their front door. If NDIS funding is too low to arrange a viable support worker shift, people could be left with funding they can’t use – and fewer opportunities to take part in community life. Read more: everyaustraliancounts.com.au/ministerial-... #NDIS
