As NDIS participants brace for cuts to community supports from tomorrow, documents show the agency running the scheme has been slashing packages overall.

They also reveal the average number of eligibility revocations per week from the first three months of this year was more than quadruple the amount from the same period in 2025.

The NDIS is currently undergoing its biggest ever changes, which are expected to remove 240,000 participants over the next four years. 

The agency running the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) slashed more than $2.8 billion from participant plans over a 21-month period, documents show, with "ruthless" cuts for whole categories of supports also set to begin from tomorrow.

NDIS participant consumer choice is being eroded, and that’s not ok

The NDIS put the disabled community in the driver’s seat of their care. They were on the ground experiencing their disability, they’d know best. This common sense is under threat with proposed changes in legislation. Advocates share consequences and the need to protect choice.

The NDIS hasn’t been perfect. Participants know this. One thing did make it special. It was made to offer choice to the people who need it most. That right to choose is now being threatened. Changes in legislation mean the NDIS is more vulnerable than ever to losing what it was made for. There are growing questions needing answers – Who is looking out for my funding? And why is my right to choose being eroded?

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
