A fair go means it's for

A fair go for all means standing up when vital supports are at risk.


Recent changes to the scheme have reduced rates for therapy, plan management, and provider travel. These vital supports are becoming harder to access, pushing small local providers to breaking point and shifting pressure onto schools, hospitals, and communities already stretched thin.

Most NDIS providers are making personal sacrifices just to stay afloat, often cancelling programs, selling their homes, or leaving the sector entirely.

As these providers disappear, NDIS participants lose independence, face worse health outcomes, and end up relying on emergency and hospital services.

This is not a one-off issue, it’s a system-wide crisis that affects all Australians.

It’s not too late to change it.

It’s now or never.
