The NDIS at ten years: designing an equitable scheme for the next decade

The NDIS has turned ten years old this year, in 2023. Members from the Centre for Disability Research and Policy (CDRP) were at the launch of the NDIS in Melbourne back in 2013.

This article is a reflective piece from three members of CDRP. The main message is that although the NDIS has improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people with disability and families, there is a high level of mistrust of uncertainty of the scheme, such as costs, community rejection, and sustainability of the disability services sector.

As the NDIS continues to grow, there is still a visible level of inequity in the scheme for Aboriginal people and people living in non-metro regions.
