The current National Standards for Disability Services (NSDS) came into effect in 1993. These Standards govern existing disability services nationally. Experience from the existing NSDS teaches crucial lessons.

Independent reports based on experiences of people with a disability (PwD), and sound data, contradict reports from disability administrators and service providers: describing dismal outcomes instead. ...

The NSDS are not part of the solution that PwD need; they must be part of the problem.

... and much more.
