The kids being kicked off the NDIS
As the year winds to an end, kids with autism and developmental delay face an uncertain future on the NDIS.
Back in August, the federal government revealed plans to kick them off the NDIS – announcing a scheme called Thriving Kids, which will kick off next year.
Health Minister Mark Butler said it would give young people better support – and go some way towards curbing the billions being spent on the NDIS.
But months on, the government still hasn’t reached a deal with the states on how the scheme will be funded – despite threatening to withhold their hospital funding until they agree.
