flag Over 130,000 Australians with severe mental health needs lack support despite billions spent on the NDIS.

flag Thousands of Australians with significant psychosocial disability lack access to critical support despite billions spent on the NDIS, leaving about 130,000 adults with the highest needs without help from either the NDIS or mainstream mental health services. flag The NDIS spends over $5.8 billion annually on roughly 66,000 people with psychosocial disability, but many ineligible individuals face inconsistent, underfunded, or nonexistent care depending on location. flag A Grattan Institute report warns that without reform, NDIS costs could reach $50 billion by 2025/26, and recommends creating a new national psychosocial disability program outside the NDIS, funded jointly by federal, state, and territory governments. flag The proposed program aims to expand recovery-oriented support for all, using existing funds more efficiently to improve outcomes and reduce gaps in care.
