The NDIS is on the brink of major cuts that could leave people with disabilities, especially women, more vulnerable to isolation and abuse. While the government claims these changes are needed for long-term sustainability, advocates warn slashing funding for community supports—like personal assistants and social engagement—could trap vulnerable individuals in unsafe environments. Experts stress that community participation is a vital safety net, and without tailored safeguards, these cuts risk worsening domestic violence and social exclusion. Despite government assurances that new systems are coming and that safety remains a priority, critics question whether alternatives are ready to fill the gap. The Senate inquiry continues to hear testimony on these high-stakes reforms.
