💚 Cut fraud. Protect our support. Investigate wrongdoing without making us defend our right to the help we need. Share: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA Disability Gateway 1800 643 787 Lifeline 13 11 14 #ProtectOurNDIS

💚 Community participation isn't a luxury. EAC has challenged the idea that mainstream services can simply replace disability-specific supports when funding is cut. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS #EveryAustralianCounts #NDIS

❓ Can you challenge the NDIS funding cuts? The reductions themselves aren't reviewable. EAC has advocated for simple processes and safeguards for people with high support needs. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS #EveryAustralianCounts #NDIS

New NDIS rules offer some people a plan variation if cuts put 24-hour support at risk. But people relying on unpaid family support can miss out. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS #EveryAustralianCounts #NDIS

🚨 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

💔 “I asked for help as my disability needs increased. Instead, I ended up having to fight to remain in the Scheme at all.” One participant's story of losing NDIS access while caring for two children with disability. 📣 Share your story: forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS

📅 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

Community participation isn’t an optional extra. It can mean friendship, independence, work, volunteering, learning and belonging. Has an NDIS change affected your ability to participate? 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS

Thriving Kids is beginning to roll out. But are the supports actually there? Where? Who can access them? What are the wait times? What happens when the alternative isn’t available? Build it before you remove it. 📣 forms.gle/HwzQQzcsWjV97SjEA #ProtectOurNDIS

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
