I have lodged my Senate submission on the NDIS Amendment Bill 2026.
This is not a minor reform package. It is a structural reset of disability support, provider markets, workforce demand, unpaid care, state-system pressure and public-sector cost allocation.
My submission identifies 17 material risks embedded in the legislation.
The Australian Government has told the public this Bill will save $37.8 billion.
What it has not shown is the full economic cost of pulling that funding out of the national disability economy.
A saving inside the NDIA ledger is not automatically a saving to Australia.
If the cost reappears as provider exits, lost employment, unpaid family care, hospital pressure, school strain, social security expenditure, reduced tax receipts, lower household spending and future NDIS re-entry, then it is not a saving.
It is a transfer.
This submission argues that the Senate should not pass legislation of this scale until Parliament has been given full macroeconomic, disability cohort, provider-market, state-system and human rights impact assessments.
Fiscal discipline requires a complete ledger.
Right now, the saving is visible.
The damage is not.
