Hi there, 

We just wanted to send you a quick note about the NDIS Bill…

People with disability and families are very worried about some of the proposed changes to the NDIS Act and Rules. 

The NDIS Bill as it stands would give the NDIA CEO the power to change your plan at any time. That should happen only under 'limited circumstances' - but the government have not said what those limited circumstances are. 

Many important parts of the Bill depend on rules that haven't been published or consulted on properly. And many have given the NDIS Minister new broad sweeping powers to change the rules at any time. Without agreement from the state and territory Disability Ministers. 

But if we all work together we can stop this. 

We need everyone who cares about the NDIS to contact all of our Senators and ask them to vote against the changes. 

The Senate can make or break this.

Thousands of people have already taken action and we hope you can do the same (or send a new email). Head to our website - add in your details and hit send! The email is written and ready to go.

NDIS Minister Linda Reynolds will ask the Senate to vote this Bill through, before the end of next week. We don't have much time left - but we do have people power! 

Can you please take a minute or two to hit send on the email?

Thank you for all that you do.

You have crossbench Senators - they are Senators who don't belong to major parties.

The way they vote could make or break this.

So don't be afraid to get in touch with them or their office staff directly. It is their job to listen to and represent you in Parliament.
