It's time to unite\, fight and show the Australian government that we are not an easy target. \;\n \; \n Social and community participation budgets will be cut by 30% - re placed by block funded grants to 'host' us in the community (no idea how we get there) \;\n \;\n All support workers providing Assistan ce with Daily Life will need to be from registered providers - too bad i f you like employing the person who showers you directly \;\n \;\n 300\,000 less people will be on NDIS and all participants will be re assessed - too bad if you've already provided all the traumatising evide nce before (or three times before!) \;\n \;\n Scheme growth wil l be capped at 2 per cent with a chaotic and unpredictable NDIA determin ing where and on who the axe will fall \;\n \;\n A return to th e bad old block funded system - putting the lives of real people in the hands of a few big companies and charities often with horrific track rec ords of abuse and neglect \;\n \;\n Huge job losses in the disa bility and wider sector as the market collapses - Based on data by NDS a nd per-capita\, the cuts equate to a loss of 204\,000 jobs spread across the nation - most of them women\, in a cost-of-living crisis. \;\n \;\n No word on self-directed registration - meaning people manag ing their own lives effectively will be forced back into having their li ves directed by the whims of companies and charities. \;\n \;\n It's easier for registered providers to rort the NDIS - they can bill N DIS direct with no requirement to prove that the support billed for actu ally occurred. \;\n \;\n There are many other plans including h uge issues around functional capacity assessments - we will be launching our fact sheets at this meeting. \;\n \;\nWe will also be launch ing our 12 days of action in the lead up to the Federal Budget. We'll be giving you concrete steps to get involved in the push back against thes e changes and letting you know what else is happening across Australia.& #13\;\n \;\nThe meeting will be focused on action. There won't be an opportunity for individual story sharing but there will be clear and spe cific ways to be part of the push back with options for people with more or less capacity.\n\nTags: Disability Justice\, NDIS\, Disability\n\nIm ported from: https://seedbomb.au/events/392 URL:https://events.humanitix.com/community-organising-meeting-12-days-of- action-to-save-our-ndis SUMMARY:Community Organising Meeting - 12 Days of Action to Save our NDIS LOCATION:Online Event: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
