Their message is clear: reforms of this scale must be properly thought through, genuinely informed by people with disability, and focused on getting things right. At Melba, we support meaningful reform that makes the NDIS stronger for the future. But change must not come at the expense of the people the NDIS was created to support. If you’re worried about what these reforms could mean, now is an important time to speak up. We encourage you to reach out to your local MP and share your stories, concerns, experiences and insights. Your voice matters, and real stories can help decision makers understand what is at stake. The August edition of Melba Community News is out now! Melba’s monthly newsletter is full of great information, including stories about people we support, services we offer, upcoming events and other important updates.
