🚨 A 50% funding cut could mean losing regular support altogether. EAC has called for minimum funding levels that allow people to access meaningful support worker shifts. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS #EveryAustralianCounts #NDIS

📅 When will NDIS cuts affect you? 1 Oct 2026: New and reassessed plans. 1 Feb 2027: Renewed plans. Cuts can't happen mid-plan. EAC has called for clear information before funding changes take effect. #ProtectOurNDIS #EveryAustralianCounts #NDIS

🚨 Your NDIS plan could say $10,000 for community participation, but you may only be able to spend $5,000. EAC has called for clearer information about what funding people can actually access. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS #EveryAustralianCounts

A waiting list isn’t a replacement. A service you can’t access isn’t a replacement. A service that doesn’t exist locally isn’t a replacement. Build it before you remove it. 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS

“Now the responsibility is once again on me to understand what happened and fight the decision.” After asking the NDIS for more support, an autistic person’s funding was cut. The process should not be a barrier. 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #DocumentTheDamage #ProtectOurNDIS

There is a lot of NDIS change happening at once. For people whose lives depend on disability support, that uncertainty can take a toll. Need support? Lifeline 13 11 14 Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636 Immediate danger: 000 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA

Promises need to be tested against what happens in practice. Are decisions clearer? Are safeguards working? Are alternatives available? Are people with disability being heard? Tell us what you’re experiencing. 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS

We think people need to be reminded that the NDIS is also about what becomes possible when people with disability have the support they need. Independence. Connection. Work. Community. Choice and control. 📣 What has the NDIS done for you? forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA

No NDIS cuts should leave a person unsafe or without the support they need. We need real safeguards, exemptions when broad rules cause harm, continuity of essential support and meaningful review. Protect people. Fix what causes harm. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA

A smaller NDIS plan doesn’t make someone’s disability or support needs disappear. So where does the cost go? To families? Participants? Hospitals? Other services? What was cut? What happened? Who picked up the cost? 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS

NDIS fraud should be investigated. Wrongdoing should be stopped. Public money should be recovered. But people with disability should not pay the price for provider wrongdoing. Fix the problem. Don’t cut the person. Are participants being unfairly caught up in the fraud debate?

Australia has choices. So when we're told the NDIS costs too much, ask: Why are people with disability being asked to carry the burden? We can afford a strong, sustainable NDIS. The question is whether Government chooses to protect it. #ProtectOurNDIS
