MS Australia’s submission to the Joint Standing Committee on the National Disability Insurance Scheme draws on input from members of our LEEP and highlights the challenges faced by NDIS participants in rural, regional, and remote Australia. It emphasises the need for systemic policy changes, improved planning and assessment processes, enhanced resources and training for health professionals, and increased awareness and understanding among NDIA staff about progressive neurological conditions like MS. The submission includes case studies and specific recommendations to improve the NDIS experience for people living with MS.
