The scheme is entirely publicly funded and not means-tested, with recipients not purchasing or contributing to the scheme directly. The NDIS is independent of the Disability Support Pension and any state and territory disability programs, although NDIS navigation services may help individuals access these supports. The NDIS also exclusively funds disability supports, not healthcare-associated costs; these remain publicly funded under <a href="/wiki/Medicare_(Australia)" title="Medicare (Australia)">Medicare</a> and state and territory government health services. Legislation was passed in 2024 to reform the NDIS to better manage the cost of the program and the efficacy of supports provided. The package provides around A$500 million to improve regulatory and evidence-based purchasing mechanisms, revise local linkage services, and reform NDIS pricing to improve transparency and predictability. The legislation was introduced in response to the Independent NDIS Review, concerns that some NDIS participants and suppliers were engaging in fraudulent, and an increase in low-value supports being funded by the scheme.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Disability_Insurance_Scheme&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Context">Context</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Disability_Insurance_Scheme&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Context">edit</a>]</div> The states and territories operated asylums and other institutions for disabled people not long after their establishment, replicating the predominant model of treatment in the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>. These institutions were often large and residential. The Commonwealth "Invalid and Old-Age Pensions Act 1908" provided an "Invalid Pension" to people "permanently incapacitated for work" and unable to be supported by their families, (so long as they fulfilled racial and other requirements).<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> This provided money that recipients could spend on their care and assistance. In 1941, the "Vocational Training Scheme for Invalid Pensioners" was begun by the <a href="/wiki/Curtin_government" title="Curtin government">Curtin government</a>. This provided <a href="/wiki/Occupational_therapy" title="Occupational therapy">occupational therapy</a> and allied services to people who were not permanently incapacitated, to help them gain employment.

Many of the jobs being created by the NDIS are not frontline care jobs directly benefiting people living with disability”. In 2024 The Australian Financial Review stated "The uncontrolled growth in the NDIS is contributing to Australia’s inflation and productivity problem, economists and business operators believe [...] Australia is now among the biggest government spenders on disability in the world, outlaying more than $84 billion a year (more than 3 per cent of GDP), for items such as the NDIS, disability support pensions, and carer payments."<a href="#cite_note-110">[110]</a> In 2024, under Bill Shorten, a new taskforce was launched to crack down on <a href="/wiki/Price_discrimination" title="Price discrimination">price discrimination</a> by NDIS providers.

The report notes that while NDIS funding may be used to contribute towards additional costs of holidays required as a result of a disability, the guidelines were "hazy and open to abuse" from unregistered travel operators. Peter Negri, managing director of a disability travel operator, noted that unregistered operators are known to use short-term respite funding to pay for trips to <a href="/wiki/Tokyo_Disneyland" title="Tokyo Disneyland">Disneyland Japan</a> or helicopter tours of the <a href="/wiki/Barossa_Valley" title="Barossa Valley">Barossa Valley</a> - effectively creating a taxpayer-funded holiday, sometimes at a cost of up to $20,000 per person. Mr Negri states that these fraudulent activities were "ruining the reputations of legitimate providers" and the industry now sees NDIS participants as "buckets of money, ripe for the picking".<a href="#cite_note-:1-76">[76]</a> In the same article, NDIS integrity chief John Dardo stated that while NDIS payments are set up by well-meaning people, the system was immature. Dardo contrasted the NDIS to Medicare, noting that the latter is much heavily codified with strict rules on what is funded and what is not. He also drew attention to the effect of plan manager, often private company employees who have the authority to approve fund distributions. Some plan managers, particularly smaller organisations, have often been found to frequently authorise funding without any evidence or to related businesses or people. AFR analysis found that around 300 plan managers would not have met the requirement to be issued a Statement of Tax Record, suggesting that these organisations were being allowed to manage participant NDIS plans while not appropriately managing their own general corporate tax and financial matters.<a href="#cite_note-:1-76">[76]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Disability_Insurance_Scheme&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: See also">edit</a>]</div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/List_of_South_Australian_organisations_providing_support_to_people_with_a_disability" title="List of South Australian organisations providing support to people with a disability">List of South Australian organisations providing support to people with a disability</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="References">References</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=National_Disability_Insurance_Scheme&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: References">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist"> <div class="mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1238218222">.mw-parser-output cite.citation{font-style:inherit;word-wrap:break-word}.mw-parser-output .citation q{quotes:"\"""\"""'""'"}.mw-parser-output .citation:target{background-color:rgba(0,127,255,0.133)}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-free.id-lock-free a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Lock-green.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited.id-lock-limited a,.mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration.id-lock-registration a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d6/Lock-gray-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription.id-lock-subscription a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Lock-red-alt-2.svg")right 0.1em center/9px no-repeat}.mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background:url("//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4c/Wikisource-logo.svg")right 0.1em center/12px no-repeat}body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-free a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-limited a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-registration a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .id-lock-subscription a,body:not(.skin-timeless):not(.skin-minerva) .mw-parser-output .cs1-ws-icon a{background-size:contain;padding:0 1em 0 0}.mw-parser-output .cs1-code{color:inherit;background:inherit;border:none;padding:inherit}.mw-parser-output .cs1-hidden-error{display:none;color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-visible-error{color:var(--color-error,#d33)}.mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{display:none;color:#085;margin-left:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-left{padding-left:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .cs1-kern-right{padding-right:0.2em}.mw-parser-output .citation .mw-selflink{font-weight:inherit}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .cs1-format{font-size:95%}html.skin-theme-clientpref-night .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}@media screen and (prefers-color-scheme:dark){html.skin-theme-clientpref-os .mw-parser-output .cs1-maint{color:#18911f}}</style><cite id="CITEREFBuckmasterClark2018" class="citation web cs1">Buckmaster, Luke; Clark, Shannon (13 July 2018). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp1819/Chronologies/NDIS">"The National Disability Insurance Scheme: a chronology"</a>.
