Literally tens of thousands of people with disability (and families) are thinking about how the NDIS will enable a move out of the family home and into a house of their own.

The Inclusion Hub is a new online tool to support Australian families, Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) practitioners and communities with the resources they need to navigate the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The site has been developed by Early Childhood Intervention Australia (ECIA). Our ECI experts have selected all the best available resources to support families and children with disability and/or developmental delay. It is our goal to make it easy for families, early intervention providers, early childhood educators, medical professionals and the community to have available to them resources, ideas and stories all in one place.
The Inclusion Hub encompasses a resource directory, a glossary of common terms, webinars, articles, newsletters, downloads and more.Concerns NDIS Quality and Safety Framework Forgets Majority of People With DisabilityEllie Cooper, Pro Bono Australia, 7 February 2017

Architect of NDIS lashes Federal Government over funding for the scheme (audio 2m 48s)
Peta Donald, ABC AM, 16 February 2017
The man sometimes called 'the father' of the National Disability Insurance Scheme has criticised the Federal Government over the debate this week on how the scheme's to be paid for. The government wants the Senate crossbench to support cuts to family payments, in order to fund the NDIS.
Bruce Bonyhady, the inaugural chairman of the National Disability Insurance Agency, says linking the two is deeply unfair, and cruel to disabled Australians.

Hearing Morrison use disabled people as political pawns gave me the creeps
Michael Buckley, The Guardian, 14 February 2017
Tying the omnibus savings bill to NDIS funding was cynical. I wasn’t surprised – we disabled are used to being treated with contempt by this government.
Leaving aside the ethical question of harming one group of poor – the bill would push unemployed people under 25 from Newstart to Youth Allowance, as one example – to help another, there is something quite unsettling about the way Morrison is framing a refusal to vote for the omnibus as some kind of attack on the NDIS. It’s unsettling to see a bipartisan enterprise like the NDIS (remember that sense of hope when it was introduced) used as a wedge in this way ...
Agree to welfare cuts or forget funding for childcare and the NDIS? The government's ultimatum that failed
Georgina Dent, Women's Agenda, 14 February 2017

Here's a tip: don't pick on disabled people
Laura Tingle, Australian Financial Review, 13 February 2017
Christian Porter is often touted as a conservative contender for future prime minister. He's smart. He's personable. He's got the experience of being a state attorney-general and treasurer under his belt despite his relative youth.
What he hasn't got is any political touch. He rather showed that last year when he missed a huge opportunity to parade himself as an innovative policy maker with some interesting ideas - and create a new platform for debating welfare spending - when he instead sold the government's adoption of the New Zealand investment approach to social welfare as yet just another exercise in ways to save eleventy billion dollars in a hundred years time.
So here's a tip Christian: don't pick on disabled people ...
