The Senate inquiry into the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026 has handed down its final report.
Over two months, thousands of people with disability and organisations have fought for their voices to be heard across more than 4000 submissions and multiple days of public hearings.
The message the community has sent is clear: in their current form, the proposed changes are neither reasonable nor necessary, and will cause great harm.
We remain deeply concerned about the disproportionate impact this Bill will have on children and young people with disability and their families or caregivers.
Recent modelling suggests people aged 18 and under make up nearly two-thirds of the 241,000 participants set to lose access from 2028, with many at risk of falling through support gaps entirely.
CYDA will carefully review the Committee’s report and recommendations before sharing a full response in the coming days.
We call on the Government to listen to the evidence it has received and make sure its reforms genuinely work in the interest of the disability community, present and future.
