Later this week, a Senate committee is expected to deliver its report into legislation to tighten eligibility for the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). The committee’s inquiry was extended and the bill amended in a deal with the Greens in June.
This clears the way for a Senate vote on the legislation. If passed, Australians will need to show they have a permanent disability and have undertaken all appropriate and publicly funded treatment options before being allowed onto the scheme.
