Here we go. #IndependentAssessments are dead in the water, but Minister Reynolds has just tipped the government’s hand on the next way they are going to attempt to cut the costs of the #NDIS. They are now going after people with #ChronicIllness.
They are going pretend now that the #NDIS was not designed for people with *health* problems. But here’s the thing. The NDIS was never intended to discriminate based on diagnosis. It was intended to support everyone with a severe and permanent impairment, regardless of the cause.
And here’s the thing, it’s actually impossible to separate ongoing *health* issues from disability in any scientific or factual way. They will have to lean entirely on social biases and prejudice to determine whether a diagnoses represents a *health* problem or a disability.
Sat, winter, rain, lockdown, ex auditor, accountant, plenty of coffee and youngest watching @STVYouTube on repeat. Oldest in his @Minecraft bunker. Partner sorting washing. You have my undivided attention @NDIS @EveryAustralian #ndis #auspol #HandsOffOurNDIS
1/ context key as report doesn’t address cohort of people with disability not on the scheme and does not speak to success of any such scheme also contingent on policy and outcomes in other parts of life of a person with disability eg education, housing, employment #WholePerson
2/ this report also doesn’t address any gaps in support or spending that impacts or undermines scheme spend eg poor educational experience isn’t compensated by NDIS paid therapy. Inaccessible public housing stock not fixed by house mods paid by NDIS. #IncludeUsFromTheStart

I’m Kevin Stone. I’m the CEO of @VALID_Inc and the Chair of @inclusionoz. Late last year, VALID stopped working with the NDIA on anything to do with their Independent Assessments. #NDIS #HandsOffOurNDIS
We had come to the conclusion that they do not have the best interests of people with disabilities or their families at heart. Nothing they have said or published since persuades me that we got it wrong. #NDIS #HandsOffOurNDIS

We are united in our concerns about the introduction of proposed mandatory independent assessments. Reduce dignity, choice and control and wellbeing. We don't believe they will address the issues. Over-simplistic assessment tools untested - @Adv4Inclusion #NDIS #NDISJSC

“quantum level difference in understanding”
@lindareynoldswa Is a 20 minute assessment by someone not qualified in these complex areas - fair and safe?

#IndependentAssessments impose barriers on people who are #Homeless or at risk of homelessness
