Thank you to the senator for her question and for her interest in this very important and difficult area of public policy.

We know that the NDIS has delivered life-changing supports to thousands of Australians. It is pleasing to see that all Australian governments are committed to providing equity and fairness for Australians living with disability. National Cabinet acknowledged the need for reforms to secure the future of the NDIS, ensuring it can continue to provide life-changing support not just today but to future generations of Australians with disability. Governments will work together to implement legislative and other changes to the NDIS to improve the experience of participants, to restore the original intent of the scheme and to support people with permanent and significant disability with a broader ecosystem of supports. The National Cabinet agreed to jointly design additional foundational supports, working together to ensure a strong and sustainable NDIS for years to come. (Time expired)
