A former Indigenous poster boy for the National Disability Insurance Scheme became part of a "stolen generation" once his funding was withdrawn, the disability royal commission has been told.
The disabled teenager, known as Joziah, had been supported to live independently near his mother in his Northern Territory hometown of Tennant Creek.
But a lack of funding led to Joziah's support being withdrawn, forcing his family to place him in care 500km away in Alice Springs in order to access basic services.
