New research from Western Sydney University, conducted and funded in partnership with major not-for-profit disability service provider Northcott, has shed light on the challenges autistic young school leavers face when trying to access NDIS support.
I write about some of the operations of the NDIS Division of the new Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).
I am a volunteer advocate and have now helped over 60 NDIS participants in their requests for the AAT and ART to review the statements of participant supports (SOPS) in their NDIS Plans. These have mostly been reviews of plans for young autistic NDIS participants.
Autistic Australians and their carers are calling for answers after a long-awaited plan to address the disparities in healthcare for Autistic individuals was today released by the Australian Government's Department of Health, with the disclaimer that funding is yet to be secured.
The roadmap, which was drafted in December 2024 was reviewed by Minister Rishworth and Minister Butler before reaching the Prime Minister’s desk, who declined funding under his government.
