This week, disability advocates and organisations fought back against the NDIS Amendment Bill that would see costs, care and risk being shifted onto people with disability and their families, and exclude more people from the Scheme.

ABC Radio has shared some of the testimony from the inquiry, including part of CEO Sophie Cusworth’s opening statement. Listen to the full story here (Video: 42 seconds).
