Labor’s sweeping NDIS overhaul to boot 160,000 from program

Labor's overhaul of the National Disability Insurance Scheme will remove 160,000 participants and cut plan budgets over the next four years. Health Minister Mark Butler aims to contain the program's costs, which have surged to $50 billion, by implementing stricter eligibility assessments. The changes, expected to reduce service numbers to 600,000, begin with new laws next month.
