National Disability Insurance Scheme for Australia
Australians need a no fault insurance scheme for everyone who has, or acquires, a significant disability. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is a strategy for all Australians that will provide significant long-term improvements in meeting the needs of people with a disability and their families. This proposal is now gaining attention from both the media and at the highest levels of government. Imagine a future where people with a significant or complex disability had free and ready access to all the services and equipment they need. Lend your voice to the cause!
A nationwide petition has been issued in support of this initiative with organisers hoping to gather at least one million names to present to parliament and strengthen political will to reform the disability sector. We encourage you to download this petition for a National Disability Insurance Scheme and circulate it to your family, friends, colleagues and networks.
You can also show your support for the National Disability Insurance Scheme by telling the government about the difficulties faced by you, your family or your colleagues. Your comments will help shape the National Disability Strategy – a vision of what life could be like for people with a disability and their families in Australia. Post your comments now!
