A new report shows the alarming impact of hidden changes at the NDIS, which are creating invisible barriers and growing inequity for some of Australia’s most vulnerable people.   The Australian Psychosocial Alliance’s Access Denied: Psychosocial Disability and the NDIS report draws on first-hand insights from consumers, participants, carers and others involved in the system, NDIS statistics and organisational data. It offers clear recommendations to ensure people with psychosocial disability have access to the support they need, when they need it.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gPvQQNgH #AccessDenied #NDIS #ndisaustralia #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters  Mind Australia One Door Mental Health Wellways Australia Flourish Australia Neami National Stride Mental Health Open Minds Ruah Community Services

SPEAKING UP IN CANBERRA This week, I travelled to Canberra to meet with my local member, Leon Rebello MP and to stand alongside disabled people and allied health professionals from across Australia in protest against the NDIS cuts. It was a powerful opportunity to listen and amplify the voices of disabled children and adults who bravely shared how these changes would impact their daily lives, their independence, and their futures. In a historic moment, the street in front of Parliament House was closed to support the right of disabled people to protest, a powerful symbol of unity and advocacy. … We stand in solidarity with the disability community in calling for genuine partnership, protection of rights, and a future where every person can thrive with the support they deserve. #NDIS #DisabilityRights #TrueCoDesign #Inclusion #TherapyMatters #AlliedHealth #AdvocacyInAction #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
