Local people with disabilities and carers in South East Queensland will attend a forum in Cleveland next Wednesday to call for urgent changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
Attendees will participate in a Q&A style panel to discuss what is working with the NDIS and where the scheme is falling down.
A spokesperson for organisation Every Australian Counts says while the NDIS is making a difference for some people, too many people are missing out on the benefits and falling through the cracks.
The spokesperson said, “the system is too bureaucratic” and it is the responsibility of local MPs to push for reform.
