Australian disability advocates raise concerns over draft NDIS funding exclusions, fearing negative impact on sustainability and control.

The Australian government's draft lists of exclusions for NDIS funding have raised concerns among disability advocates, as they may force individuals with disability to use costlier services and negatively impact the NDIS's sustainability. Critics argue for a more flexible support needs assessment approach, giving participants greater control over their funding and introducing self-directed support practices. A public consultation process on the draft lists is open until August 18th, allowing the disability community to voice their concerns.
