@everyaustcounts.bsky.social🚨 Your NDIS plan could say $10,000 for community participation, but you may only be able to spend $5,000.
EAC has called for clearer information about what funding people can actually access.

@everyaustcounts.bsky.social🚨 NDIS funding cuts are now in effect.
Relevant community participation funding is being reduced by 50%, and improved daily living skills by 10%. Some supports are excluded.
EAC has raised concerns about the impact.

@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialA waiting list isn’t a replacement.
A service you can’t access isn’t a replacement.
A service that doesn’t exist locally isn’t a replacement.
Build it before you remove it.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.social“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.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialPromises need to be tested against what happens in practice.
Are decisions clearer? Are safeguards working? Are alternatives available? Are people with disability being heard?
Tell us what you’re experiencing.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialWe think people need to be reminded that the NDIS is also about what becomes possible when people with disability have the support they need.
Independence. Connection. Work. Community. Choice and control.
đź“Ł What has the NDIS done for you?
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialCommunity participation isn’t an optional extra.
It can mean friendship, independence, work, volunteering, learning and belonging.
Has an NDIS change affected your ability to participate?
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialThriving Kids is beginning to roll out.
But are the supports actually there?
Where? Who can access them? What are the wait times? What happens when the alternative isn’t available?
Build it before you remove it.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialA smaller NDIS plan doesn’t make someone’s disability or support needs disappear.
So where does the cost go?
To families? Participants? Hospitals? Other services?
What was cut? What happened? Who picked up the cost?
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialTell us what changed.
What support did you have?
What changed?
Why?
Was an alternative offered?
Could you actually access it?
What happened next?

@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialDocument the damage.
Funding changed? Supports lost? Participation affected? New barriers?
We need the evidence.

@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialThe NDIS is worth protecting because of what it makes possible.
Independence. Work. Study. Relationships. Community. Choice.
đź’š What has the NDIS made possible for you?

@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialAustralia has choices.
So when we're told the NDIS costs too much, ask:
Why are people with disability being asked to carry the burden?
We can afford a strong, sustainable NDIS. The question is whether Government chooses to protect it.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialNDIS cuts are becoming real.
Now show us what happens.
What changed? What replaced it? Did it exist? What happened to you?
Tell EAC 👇

We’ll keep listening and holding decision-makers to account.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialCommunity participation means friends, independence, volunteering and connection.
If your support changes after 1 October, tell us what happens:

A “saving” isn’t a saving if the cost is shifted elsewhere.
@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialA 50% cut to Social and Community Participation could leave some NDIS participants with funding below the minimum support worker shift.
Funding on paper means little if you can’t actually use it.

@everyaustcounts.bsky.social🏠SIL changes aren’t just about services. It's about home.
Who supports us. Who we live with. Whether we can change providers without risking your home.
More accountability for governments and providers. More choice for participants.
Read our submission: shorturl.at/KLn7q
@everyaustcounts.bsky.social🏠Receive SIL through the NDIS?
From 1 October, new provider registration requirements apply.
Fix provider problems. Don’t make participants pay the price.
Affected? Tell EAC 👇

@everyaustcounts.bsky.socialWhat does “functional capacity” mean, and why does it matter for NDIS access?
With consultation now open, the disability community has a chance to have a say.
