The National Disability Insurance Scheme will take longer to fully implement and cost more than anticipated, the Coalition Government has revealed.
In an address at the National Press Club in Canberra, entitled “A better deal for Australians with Disability”, Federal Assistant Minister for Social Services Mitch Fifield revealed that NDIS costs had already gone over budget by 30 per cent.
“The number of people interested in taking part in the scheme across the launch sites was 3222 - 50 per cent more than expected number of participants for the period from July 1 to September 30,” Fifield said.
