Disability representative organisations (DROs) call for immediate action to address the National Disability Insurance Agency’s conduct to remove a person with disability access to NDIS supports in apparent retaliation for expressing their views on social media about the Scheme.
In a Joint Statement, DROs are calling out the NDIA’s actions to remove a person with disability from the NDIS. The catalyst to this move triggered, in part, by the participant’s post on social media. This is unacceptable. People with disability have a right to freedom of opinion that is not subject to the possibility of losing essential supports.
DROs are calling for:
* An urgent, independent inquiry
* Release of legal advice
* A roundtable with Minister McAllister and the NDIA
