NDIS reform delays to ‘burn $1 billion’ taxpayer funds

The annual NDIS bill is expected to soon surpass Medicare costs.

Federal crossbenchers are being urged to “thrash out” a deal to pass reforms to the NDIS to save taxpayers from a $1 billion bill the delays will cause.

The federal opposition and Greens have teamed up to send the planned NDIS reforms to a second parliamentary hearing, despite a previous hearing recommending they become law.

The reforms, aimed at reining in the scheme’s costs, would reduce the number of eligible new participants, as well as changing the criteria for funding.

The changes to the scheme would be aimed at capping spending growth to the NDIS, with the government estimating $14 billion would be saved under the measures during the next four years.

Opposition finance spokeswoman Jane Hume said while the coalition was likely to support the NDIS reform, further scrutiny was needed.(that's Liberal talk for lets play politics)

Yeah nothing but playing politics by wanting further scrutiny of the changes to prevent consequences to more alp half baked reforms.

Yes we need to fix the NDIS but we don't need tonmake it worse for those that really need it
